Day 32.. Funchal, Madeira, Portugal

we arrived in this beautiful island of Madeira,Portugal at the port of Funchal it's capital city..... having been here on last year's cruise we had planned ahead  and decided to take the Hop On - Hop Off bus tour and do the two routes across the southern part of the island and over to the village of camera de lobos.. what a view... we completed our tour and decided to go the the mercado9 Market)  where we walked around and sampled some fruits and roasted nuts...  after leaving the mercado we hop on the bus and took it two stops into the downtown Rambla area..  we had lunch at an outdoor cafe  using the free wifi and listening to a local live quartet ...  a nice lunch with of course a capuccino topped off the visit as it began to drizzle...  after walking around the town we hopped a taxi ride back to the ship...  later after having dinner on the ship we tried to go back downtown but the rains came down out of the mountains and curtailed our plans...  we stay here overnite and have a ship's tour planned for tomorrow..as always is the case ship's internet super-slow so limited on the pics posted..
