Our laundry is back!
Back to the room
Looking our our porthole. The sun is going down.
Kris
Relaxing at the end of the day.
Ten forward
One of our favorite hang-out places for this cruise, ten-forward. We came to hang out until we left port.
Neat old cemetery
Driving to our next stop we spotted this neat old cemetery.
One last shot
A last shot of the view from the bus
One last stop
Back on the bus. One more stop to go!

Street lavel
We laughed every time we looked out our porthole. In the cruise description they act like it's SUCH a luxury to have an outside window. It's hard to make it out but we were literally at the level of the street. Also as low as you can go in the ship.

Docking
You can see the guys in the side bridge of the ship. They have the best view to steer the ship to the dock from this bridge. They cal see the full length of the ship and there's a window in the floor so they can steer right up to the dock..

Cristiano
We didn't know anything about Madeira except people on the ship told us that soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo was born here. One of the things to buy, besides the wine, was his jersey.

Our painting!
After dinner we had an appointment with the art people onboard. We went to the auction for fun and we ended up winning, not bidding but we won, a painting like, for free. This is the painting. It's by Jean Claude Picot. He uses kind of atypical colors. For instance, we saw another painting of his where we saw a red field of wheat.
