I think we arrived sometime around 7am, I say think, because I didn’t wake up until 8am and we were docked and going on our guided tour of the town at 9.30.
We’ve been to Madeira once before and between us can’t remember exactly when that was, perhaps 25/30 years ago.
A great island for walking if fit. The levada’s we recall were well up in the hills and were a great way to explore.
A wet misty start to the day so a quick guided tour around the town and municipal market, which reminded us that even at young age reminded us of our adventurous ways with food.
If you have a few minutes, take a Google search for the black scabbardfish!
We took the cable car, after a coffee break to the top of the hills, primarily to take the toboggan ride down the very steep road.
A two kilometre ride which was giving Pauline the sh**s , sorry a fright, before we even started.
I have a photo which was taken as we got on board.
It will be made public on our return.
Then back to the ship for lunch as we set sail for Cape Verde at around 2pm.
I’ll tell you now, before I forget, we are currently, according to gossip, having “some cases of the virus“.
The food service has certainly changed, you are no longer able to serve yourself from the buffet, although one idiot was seen literally reaching over and grabbing a handful of cheese off the cheese board because of the queue!
You certainly see all sorts on a cruise!
We are also receiving extra attention with the antiseptic hand wash procedure being stepped up at the restaurant entrances.
