Funchal Portugal

Four sea days turned into 7 days at sea due to 6 metre swell cancelling our Ponta Delgado, Azores stop. So first stop after Bermuda was Funchal. This is my second time here and it is a very pretty island. It is a very popular tourist island. Friendly people, delicious food, lots to explore. I love the old town with its alleys of restaurants and bars.

I love the door art.

And the sculptures, with the most important one being of the great soccer player, Ronaldo and you can see what part of his body is favoured.

The most fun and crazy thing to do is the basket toboggan ride. Think billycart for 2 down a steep mountain road shared by pedestrians and cars, with 2 men using their feet for brakes and control. It is a must do.
