Tenerife is nice, but today, when I saw again the Madeira I came to the conclusion that it is even more beautiful. Morning was cloudy and the ocean quite rough but when we came closer to Madeira sun appeaared and the view of Funchal, cliffs and green mountains enchanted me once more. From thd air you probably cannot see such a panorama, so cameby ship. The only problem is that in fact I have only 4 hours for the visit after formalities. Why they plan so short visit? Madeira is worth longer stay! So making a choice of the ship check first how many hours will it dock on ghe island.
Brasilians from the ship are not as crazy travelers as I so I did not find companions to share the cost of the private tour to the east of the island (west I know from previous visit) but when I was here I had no time to walk around Funchal -the capital. It is lovely with flowers, old buildings and narrow streets! Violet jacarandas are ib blossom in front of the cathedral and I found there the monument of John Paul II….
I hope to come to Madeira again…
