The show was good last night, and we had seats right at the front despite arriving late. Then the best treat, a good nights sleep. No drawers unexpectedly opening, no wardrobes creaking, no bed heaving up and down. Bliss!!
Line dancing this morning, which is quite hilarious when you couple the ship moving, to a crowded dance floor, to Mum's balance problem. Suddenly we could see land, the northern reaches of Maderia. It took another 4 hours until we docked as Funchal is on the southern coast. We spent the time listening to a photo lecture, doing a quiz and eating lunch.
Mum has stayed on board as there is a lot of walking, and I wanted to find an Internet cafe. Latter objective has been achieved, and I'm currently sitting at a lovely little cafe, with a pint of beer in front of me.
Funchal seems a very nice place, with at least two rivers running through it. Lots of shops shut, presumably because it is a Saturday afternoon in January, but enough to make wandering around a pleasure. Feels quite strange to be on land after the last few days. I have tried to find a camera shop as my lens cap has broken, but no luck. I shall now try and post these entries - fingers crossed.
