At the market

We got up early this morning to go to the market in Funchal. The guide books had said it was one of the sights to see. We weren't disappointed. The building itself was rather interesting, not to mention all those vivid colours.

First we walked through the fish market which in itself was really interesting. I could have stayed there for hours taking photos and watching those men. The market itself was separated into two parts basically with mainly vegetables being sold on the ground floor and fruits on the gallery. Madeira is also known for its tropical fruits. I don't know who comes up with the idea to cross a passion fruit with a tomato, but well ... it didn't taste too bad. Or how about crossing a passion fruit with a banana or a banana with a pineapple :)
