Day 34 Funchal, Madeira, Portugal
arrived here at 8am...we've been to Funchal on two previous cruises
for overnite stays which were great.. this time only here for the
day which is unfortunate as it is one of our favorite island places
to visit.. our tour brought us up to the top of the mountain..Eiro
Do Serrado.. for some spectacular views of Funchal and the
coastline..some tasting of the Island's Cherry Brandy....of course we had to do the Sleigh Ride in the Village of
Monte on the way back down to the city... a classic ...and what a
hoot.. a fun time... at the end of the tour we had a sample of Madeira
wine then had some free time to walk over to the Market.... and finally
the tour bus dropped us off downtown Funchal where we decided to have a
lunch in an outdoor cafe--the Ritz..same as we did last year... we
topped it off with our last Gelato of this cruise...then walked a couple
of streets down to the ship's bus shuttle and rode back to the ship...
a great day as always on this spectacular and pretty island
