Transatlantic Cruise
We departed the Port of Miami on April 19th for a 12-day Transatlantic cruise aboard the Norwegian Epic. There was one stop on Day 9 at Funchal, Madeira before the cruise ended in Barcelona, Spain.
Awesome mountains!
Great views on our day at sea!
Leaving!
Finally leaving port!
The view
You can see the cool Hotel W in the distance.
Check in
At the terminal!
Staircase
One last shot of the staircase before we leave the hotel.
Made it!
It shocked even us but we made it back without any problems!
Took a while
It took a while. On the way we were even stopped by some peope who were lost and they asked us for directions. We had to tell them we were Americans and had no idea.
Back to the hotel
Now that we checked out the shops we actually had to find our way back to the hotel. This was a VERY different way back and in the dark.
Shops
We got off at the right stop but we saw this street with cute Christmas lights and shops so we decided to walk back a different way. Hopefully we'd find our way back.
Back on the bus
Headed back to the stop where we got on, if we can remember which one that is.
Last shot
One last pic before we leave.
Two stories
It was two stories high! Very cool!
Cool columns!
I love how twisty they are!
Pretty arches
The garden was very pretty, even in the winter!
Garden
Pretty flowers and they were blooming even in the cold!
