Xmas Cruise 2017 - Funchal Page

At sea at first, on our cloudy way to Madeira. We seemed to get into Funchal a bit early. Lunch at 12, as we were on tTour at 2, which was across the island to São Vincente after a stop for local firewater. There were large lava tunnels there, created by lava running through the pre-existing sediments and old lava and we walked through them for 700m. They were about 10-12 feet across, not as big as the Lanzarote huge ones but most are a couple of feet across. Where there were lights, some little plants had grown. The complex was, well, complex.
