we were supposed to get there for 0800 tuesday morning but didn't get into port until 1600 tuesday afternoon, due to the ship having to slow down and have a passenger helicoptered off on monday night, and storm 7/8 gales thereafter... so all the trips were cancelled and we got 2 hours to wander round Funchal, which was very nice but wet - 71 degrees F and raining!
but a very nice place, shame we could not have had longer there, and their lights are fantastic. the town is built up a very steep mountain and when the street lights are lit they go right to the top of the mountain and it looks fantastic from the sea. shame i can't post any pics!
we now have 5 days sailing to our next port of call, and hping that the gales abate soon (although apparently not before tomorrow at the earliest). whilst we're not being ill, it's difficult to sleep when the ship is banging and groaning all around!
