After a few hours spent wandering the historic streets of Lisbon--what a beautiful city!--we arrived to Madeira. The runway is carved into the hillside, which provides for an exciting and scenic approach to landing.
The ship is large and exceptionally comfortable and staffed by friendly crew. Photos to come this afternoon.
Dinner was the next adventure, following a twisty climb via tour bus to one of the tallest spots on the island. Local cuisine of fish and potatoes and maiz (a delicious polenta cake) was topped off with passion fruit pudding and local entertainment of fado and folklore dancers and singers.
Off now to the teleferico and the Botanic Gardens before exploring Funchal.
