temps in the low 70's with some early morning clouds changing to
blue skies in late morning...we took a ship's tour this morning
heading up to a beautiful high location Eira Do Serrado at over 3000
feet high...temps dropped down to 51* as we walked up to the peak
... on the way down we stopped at the highlite of the tour for us in
the small village of Monte and the 'sleigh ride' down the streets
and halfway down the mountain.. we did it last year and it is still
a hoot...
Funchal Sleigh Ride video
.... a short stop in Funchal near the local Mercado-market and
it was back to the ship for an early afternoon sailaway as we sailed
along the southern coast of Madeira and the beginning of our 7 day
transatlantic crossing for our next port Half Moon Cay,
Bahamas.....Madeira has become one of our favorite islands to
visit..
