Funchal, Madeira, our last port of call

There was one sea day in between 
our last port Cadiz, Spain and
Portuguese port of Funchal, Madeira
where we docked early this morning.

Sunrise from our balcony was beautiful.

View of Funchal from the ship









It is about half an hour walk 
from the ship to town centre.
And there were complimentary 
shuttle buses running every 30 minutes as well.

We knew there is a local market near
cable car station to the top of mountain.

Fish monger with big knife in the market.





Madeira is famous for it's dessert wine and cake 
as well as abundant of beautiful flowers.

Popular port for cruise liners
before or after Atlantic cross
as this port would be the first stop
from America to Europe.











A narrow alley with full of local seafood restaurants.

Love the perfume of Freesia





Authentic and delicious
Portuguese Tarts and Cafe Latte,
we always have these 
whenever we are in this port.









I found this lovely garden set near the casino
as I walked up to a hillside.
Sometimes, it is nice to be lost
to find something new in foreign country.

Casino?
Pass.
I don't gamble...^^





















Ronaldo was born here.
World's one of the biggest sports star.

There will be 7 sea days 
after this port
before
we reach our final destination,
Fort Lauderdale where
this Grand World Voyage
comes to an end.
