4/16–Sailing from Madeira

Sailing away from Funchal is probably one of the prettiest, as the captain skirts the shoreline and you can get a great view of the town and the eastern tip of the island – where we hiked.  I will now bore you with pictures taken from atop “Posh,” the Haven sundeck (which was one of the bonuses of booking in the Haven on this ship).

Funchal:

Ponta da Oliveira and Ponta de Sao Lourenco in the distance:

The airport!!!  (Remember you drive right underneath it, through all those pillars, as the planes are landing! The second picture shows the plane as it is landing.)
