🌞 Another Lovely Day in Madeira

We woke up to a very pleasant morning, and thankfully, it didn’t seem to be too hot.
After breakfast, we decided to take a walk into the centre. We stopped off at Funchal Cathedral, where once again, another service was taking place. They’re a pretty devout lot, these Catholics! 😂 Anyway, I decided to pop inside, say a prayer 🙏 for friends and light a candle 🕯️.
From there, we retraced our footsteps 👣, but instead of stopping off at the Savoy Royal, we carried on to another superior hotel 🏨 — Reid’s Palace.
Overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, Reid’s Palace has been the ultimate place to unwind in the Madeiran sunshine since opening its doors in 1891. What a beautiful setting!
We found a lovely little spot on the terrace and enjoyed a coffee ☕️ and cake 🍰 while soaking up the stunning views and wonderful ambience. Of course, all this luxury comes at a price! A week’s stay here would cost us just another £5,000 on top of what we’ve already paid for our hotel down in the old town — and that’s just for bed and breakfast! 😲💷 I think we’ll stick with our current accommodation!
After settling the bill and taking a couple of photos 📸, we headed back down into the old town. Our next stop was BHEAVEN, a rooftop bar above the Barceló Funchal Oldtown Hotel, where we fancied checking out the views before heading back to our own hotel for some serious sunbathing. ☀️🍹
After dinner, we took another stroll, this time along the marina, where we enjoyed listening to some live music 🎶 and soaking up the evening atmosphere.
All in all, another lovely day in Madeira, with a bit of sightseeing, a touch of luxury, some sunshine and a relaxing evening by the water. What more could you ask for? 😊🇵🇹❤️Read more
