Funchal – walking the streets

It was very pleasant to walk around the streets in the pleasant warmth. We’re on our way to the Amazon jungle but we have a few stops on the way.

We stopped to have a beer and take in the atmosphere. We were heading off to Câmara de Lobos.

Out of Porto, back to the sea and the crashing rollers! Castles, terminals and Art!!

Protecting the city of Porto there were a series of forts. They remain as symbols of just how violent we are as a species. If only our efforts were put into positive things. What a world we could create!
