A brilliant nights sleep and Mal and I were down to breakfast quite early , breakfast by the sea.
We then caught the hotel bus into Funchal. Gilly and Paula were still in bed! The flower festival is on in May and so we wanted to see some of the flowers. Just such an amazing show everywhere.
When Mal and I returned from Funchal, we had lunch with Gilly and Paula and then made the mistake of staying at the same table, drinking and talking until it was dinner time!! We even started on the Black Russians and Espresso Martinis and the barman’s spirit measures are huge!! We were all quite the worse for wear but they had prawns again so we just kept putting huge plates on our table.
Paula didn’t eat as much as us foolishly and the drink hit her the hardest!
We worked out we had been sitting drinking for EIGHT hours…never again!
