Funchal, Madeira, Portugal is our last remaining port of call before Ft. Lauderdale.  It was raining a lot in the morning, so we stayed on the ship until shortly after noon.  The ship docked about a mile from the town, so we took a pleasant (although slightly drizzly) stroll to the center of town. One of the famed highlights of Funchal is the cable car to Monte followed by a terrifying toboggan ride down the hill. Since it was raining heavily at this point and visibility was low, we neglected to do either of these things and instead headed back to the ship.  However, many of our fellow cruisers did remark that taking the toboggan ride was one of the most exhilarating and stupid things they did in their lives and highly recommended it.
