Time is passing by quickly. The photo is from my early morning walk and on getting back to the hotel, I met the family for breakfast and then we went for a drive. This was after my daughter tried on her skirt, and despite it suiting her, as predicted yesterday, she decided not to wear it. Our first destination was Calheta where we stopped for a drink and planned our next destination. While there, I went into a tourist office and bought an overpriced guide book to the island. We had a look and then drove to Porto Moniz.
On the way there, the kids, who had noticed before how more people smoke in Madeira, got to see one man smoking at the petrol station where be filled up our Yaris. We also got to drive through the clouds as we crossed the central mountain ridge, and while this was exciting at first, it continued, and continued, and continued. When we arrived at the town, the kids were both frozen, but we warmed up in an excellent restaurant before driving through the mountain ridge back to the hotel.
