On the Buses

#Yellow Bus Sightseeing Tours#Funchal Tour

Our adventure continues ... 

We were more tired than we thought. Sunday morning we woke to knocking and our hotel room door being opened by the cleaning staff. It was nearly 9:30am. 

We quickly showered, dressed and made it in time to enjoy our complimentary breakfast that is served from 7:30 to 10:00.

Today we rode the double decker "Yellow Bus" that we caught right across the street from our Hotel.  Through my photos I hope you enjoy the tour of the city.  

These photos were taken from our vantage point on the second level of the bus.

Funchal Marina ...

The cruise ship terminal / docks ...

The tourist info describes a ride on the cable cars as a "journey between heaven and earth"!

No I'm not going up there! Although the bus tour did climb to great heights and a couple of times I did need to close my eyes tightly.

We were so close to the lovely blooming flowers you had to be careful they didn't slap you in your face as the bus drove by.

Gate to the cemetery ...

We throughly enjoyed seeing the highlights of the town. 

More to come ... we got off the bus near the waterfront and did more exploring on foot.
