STRANDED for 2 days in a row while hiking on PAUL DA SERRA plateau, Madeira island

I started my journey on the old road, Ribeira do Inferno, from São Vicente and was planning to follow it until Seixal. After that, I wanted to hike up the mountain on the Vereda da Terra Chã trail and follow the Levada da Ribeira de Janela until Porto Moniz.
Little that I know that when I would reach the Paul da Serra plateau of Madeira Island, I would face obstacle after obstacle and would leave me stranded 2 days in a row there.
I tried to take other trails to reach Porto Moniz, but it was not possible to do it in a day due to too much incline and very large distance so I had to take different trails, like Levada 25 fountains (Levada das 25 fountains - Rabaçal, also known as PR6), Calheta - Levada das 25 fontes e Risco through the tunnel, Levada Calheta - Prazeres in order to reach the south coast of the island all while walking through hunters shooting rabbits and birds in very close proximity to me.
