Back toFunchal

Our first port of call is Funchal, Madeira.

I've had a lovely day showing new friends around and meeting up with old friends from my favourite island.

Use of the free wifi in the Ritz cafe.
A leisurely stroll past the completed crib and the model village complete with rabbits and lambs

Lunch at Le Jardin , with a hug from my favourite Transylvanian waiter.

And the doors in the Old Town.

The photo is a detail from the dramatic metal door I blipped last year.

I hope you've all had a lovely Boxing Day xx

Sorry I've not been commenting but there's a limit to how much I'm happy to pay Fred Olsen cruise lines.
