Funchal, Madeira

Land Ho!

Where is the island of Madeira?
After seven days at sea, we arrived at our first European port of the summer: Funchal, Madeira.  Madeira is a Portuguese island that is basically in the middle of nowhere.


Land Ho!

Since we were still in the middle of "crossover" (the rehearsal period transitioning from the Magic 29 cast to Magic 30), we had very little time to debark the ship. Kristine, Kaila, Diego, Kevin and I made a run for it to experience the tourist attractions.  We rode a cable car high above the city from Funchal to Monte, with beautiful scenic views.  Once we reached the top, we rode down on a toboggan basket, steered by two men standing on the back.
From the Cable Car.  The Disney Magic in the distance.
