Portugal is one of my favorite countries and the island of Funchal did not disappoint. It was my favorite port. Not only was it absolutely breathtaking beautiful but the people were very friendly. We took another private taxi tour and were blessed with another wonderful driver. He told us that Funchal does not have a lot of crime and generally people look after each other. Don't you wish your neighbors were all like that?
Our driver took us to the Botanical Gardens with more than 2,000 plants. The garden was on a mountainous hill and had beautiful plants and amazing views. We spent a little over an hour there. We then went to the Village of Monte where we road a tobaggan on wicker sledges downhill back to Livramento. The tobaggan ride was a lot of fun! This was the main thing I wanted to do here. Last, we went to Cabo Girao, Europe's highest sea cliff at 1900 ft. Cabo Girao is the second highest sea cliff in the world, the tallest is only 3 meters higher. The views were absolutely amazing!

Pretty church my dad and I went to while Collin, Cathy, and Caden waited in line to ride the tobaggans
