Funchal is the largest city and the capital of Madeira, a Region of Portugal. The city has a population of 11,892, making it the 6th largest city in Portugal, and it has been the capital of Madeira for more than 5 centuries. Christopher Columbus was an early settler in Funchal.
On April 5th we got off the ship and like that we were in FUNCHAL it was very fun and hot. We went produce shopping for all sorts of PASSION FRUITS (like banana passion fruit). After we got GELATO!! - it was very yummy - and guess what flavor i got? You are all probably thinking passion fruit, but i got STRAWBERRY. My dad got PASSION FRUIT. My mom got TIRAMISU. While we were sitting and enjoying our gelato we saw our trivia partners Carol and Martin and they recommended an open faced sandwich with grilled cheese with bacon on top so we just had to have it. We weren’t ready for lunch so we went to the public market to get some more passion fruit. Afterwards we went to the store to get... (if you’re thinking passion fruit, you are wrong) we got POSTCARDS!!!! Then we went to lunch and had the cheese and bacon sandwiches called Bolo do Caco. After lunch we wrote and sent the postcards. Then we got back on the ship AND WE MISSED TRIVIA!!!!! GRRRR... I am very mad because we have NEVER missed trivia before. Tomorrow is another sea day. Our last sea day of this trip - BOOOO.
