Day 9

Funchal Madeira! Our tour took us to Camara de Lobos, a small fishing village made famous by Winston Churchill and then we were off to Cabo Girao, the highest sea cliff in Europe and the second highest in the world.

Unchanged

I looked up Camara de Lobos during the time Winston Churchill was there and it looks almost the same.
Lighthouse

A close-up of the lighthouse.
Working boats

The boats weren't there for decoration. There were a bunch of boats out in the water and they were fishing.
Cliff

A nice shot of the hotels and restaurants on the clff.
Neptuno Seis

These boats are so cool. It's hard to see because of the sun but there's a cross on top of the cockpit.
Awesome pic!

I'm definitely going to frame some of these pictures.
Holes

I'm not sure this boat was seaworthy but it's very picturesque!
Dry dock boats

Even the small row boats were pretty!
Beautiful!
Seagulls

They didn't seem to mind us much.
Posing

He was posing for Bill.
Neptuno Seis Bow

Another view of the Neptuno Seis.
Painting

It was such a pretty village. We could see why Winston Chruchill stayed here to paint.
More seagulls

I know this looks similar to a previous photo but I liked the flying seagulls with the boats.
Rowboat

This tiny rowboat had water coming off of it. It looked like it had recently been used.
Tons of boats
Winston Churchill

If you look up old photos of Winston Churchill and Camara de Lobos,
Starting to leave

It was almost time to leave. We started moving towards the bus.
Up the stairs

We hated to go because the village was so pretty but it was a short tour and there was more to see.
Pretty views!
