Title: NEW ARRIVALS

[<< Prev Post] | [Next Post >>]
[Back to Index/Map]

Dave and Sheena arrived on time and in comfortable style. Have spent today relaxing and doing a field recce to Funchal, planning for a day of activity there – possibly tomorrow. Cable car rides, botanical gardens, farmers markets are all a calling. Today’s bus rides to and from Funchal were interesting and speedy.
