Well we totally enjoyed Funchal today. Maybe the prettiest port we have done yet. Got off late, took the tram up to Monte, rode the toboggan down, it was a hoot to say the least.

Tonight started out our CROSSing in typical LCT fashion. Had everyone in for cocktails which was loads of fun - then on to dinner with Tom/Sue, Denise/Alan, John/Priscilla, with Maria/Bob and Peggy/Jerry at the next table. Maria lost her duck, who managed to find his way to reception all by himself and Maria finally found him.

After, went to the Casino where I made my nightly contribution while the people on each side of me were winning like there was no tomorrow.

Looking forward to tomorrow's excursion, which Denise has set up - we have to be on deck Z at 7:00am for the "Walking on Water" tour, which is totally complimentary. :D She has planned several tours this week, but claims that Sunday's will be the best one, since it is the last day.

I would say we are off to a great CUI start!!! We gain an extra hour tonight, thank heaven.

Much more to come - stay tuned everyone.
