Funchal, Madeira, Portugal - 6th December 2011

By: RikeH

Hello Mum,

today it was St Nicholas' Day. We found a present in our cabin.

Of course we opened it.

Some sweets – great!

Later we started our trip through Funchal. Because we had an awful day yesterday,we decided to take a bus – and having our tour without moving a lot.

As you can maybe the see, the weather was not so nice today.

We loved this fountain and wanted to play there, but the bus didn’t stop.

Then we drove up the hill…

…and had a nice view.

Far away we saw a church, but it was not a famous one.

Then we left Funchal and drove along the coast.

There were terraces, where they grew bananas and other plants.

We drove through a nice little village, but I forgot the name.

Back in Funchal we walked back to our ship. There were three big cruise ships in Funchal today.

This was an old Tower – but not very high.

And another old building.

This was the view from our balcony – one of the other ships and a view over the city of Funchal.

Mum, I am so excited - I have been to 2 countries before  we started our cruise. Then we were to Morocco and Spain - and today I was in Portugal. So I completed one of my life missions!!!

I hope that you are as happy as I am !

Yours
Mirembe
