A day at the Global Net Café

We start off with an 11am rearrangement in the marina. Swedish "Grågås" and German "Makani" are off to the Canaries. We raft out in the next line, again third out, off of the French,"Tigre du Mare".
Then off we go into Funchal. The streets are typical Portugese, patterned stone pavement, mosaics of small black basalt and white marble (limestone). Watch the white ones! They're slippery when wet!

Over by the flowery, tropic-fruity farmer´s market we find the Norwegian cyber-café, "Global Net Café" (globalnetcafe@mail.net). They also serve Norwegian waffels. It's run by friendly Trude from Kirkenes and husband, Tony from Madeira. A great café, 4 machines upstairs, and 4 down, good coffee and cakes, light and airy and pleasant atmosphere.

And everything works.
