Yesterday morning we woke up and watched the sunrise from our balcony as we docked at the port of Funchal in Madeira. The Madeira Islands are part of Portugal but are actually closer to the African coastline than they are to Portugal. The island is a popular tourist destination for Europeans and is known for the sweet wine it produces.
While in Madeira we went on a 4 x 4 off-road excursion. We climbed the mountains in a Land Rover and were able to see some really incredible views. We went about 4,500 ft.
above sea level and stopped at the top of one of the mountains for a quick Coca Cola and bag of Cheetos (we are just too American)!Be
th Ann, we encountered many cows while on our trek through the mountains of Madeira. We didn’t get out and talk to any of them but certainly took a few photos for you! Here’s one of them.The atmosphere on boar
d was incredibly festive as we left our last port to start the trip across the Atlantic. The views of 
the island were amazing and then we literally sailed into the sunset

Take some pictures of the stateroom and balcony, and other areas on board the ship. I would be curious to see the transatlantic environment. Don't forget to book that massage.
