Day 6 - Funchal

A problem with the ship's WiFi yesterday evening meant a short delay in posting the last blog update.  Fortunately, the problem was resolved overnight and we are back in business again.
 
We have now arrived in Funchal after approaching Madeira from the west and sailing along the south coast early this morning.  It's a beautiful day already and passengers are streaming off the ship, many choosing to go ashore independently.  Although the city is a stone's throw away, we are berthed at the cruise terminal on the harbour breakwater which means a 35-40 minute walk to reach the city centre.  Fortunately, there are transfer buses operating every 15 minutes at a cost of £4 (which is simply charged to your on-board account) and we will taking advantage of these later when we head into the city.
