#Funchal
In fact with so many beautiful photo opportunities, the day will be recorded in more than one post.
When we walked by the President's residence the grounds were open to the public.
What an amazing estate!
Join us as we wander on the ocean- washed rounded lava stone pathways through the beautiful landscaped gardens with flora and fauna from around the world.
The property has it's own chapel ...
The shutter of my camera was very busy trying to capture the green lushness and kaleidoscope of colours in the various gardens.
Each tree, shrub, plant and flower is labeled with it's name and country/continent of origin.
This includes Africa, Asia, South America, Australia and New Zealand probably reflecting Portugal's heritage of sailing and far flung empire.
The peacock house ...
And the colourful parrots have their own domain ...
The property is high above the harbour, overlooking the cruise ship terminal and marina ...
The Presidential Car ...
More of our day to follow ...
