Majesty in Madeira

The Majesty is in Funchal today :)

Looks nice and sunny, not like here - no sun and bitter cold wind :(

Not a very good view of her. It will be better when the big German ship goes at 1600hrs!

At least she is working OK, must be down to the fresh hampsters :D:D:D

Yes but that means the ship will only cruise at night with the hamsters being so nocturnal!:confused:

How far will you get when the hamsters are dozing off all day!!

Thomson use mini versions complete with little clogs sourced from renewable forests. They breed them on the Canaries but as they only last a couple of days before you need a fresh batch they can only use them on that itinery.

Have you not noticed all those tasty savoury snacks? recycled Hampsters ;)

Hope all who have been affected by the floods are safe and warm this Christmas. We have been so lucky here in Oxford. Dreadful pictures on the news.

like. :)

I too feel so sorry for the people who have been flooded. We are fortunate that we are extremely unlikely to be flooded but we do get everything else....wind, snow, etc just no sun. :(

Oooh, just seen the local news. There is some flooding in Oxfordshire :eek: Luckily we are quite high up and on a bit of a slope. The water just runs down the road but sometimes finishes up in my friend's garden :(

The sun seems to have disappeared in Madeira :(

There seems to be 4 ships in the harbour plus two anchored. I think there are 2 more due later :eek::eek:

Fabulous photos Grez :) See the Majesty in the middle of it all :)

We shall be be there in just under 5 weeks :D Unfortunatly no fireworks for us :( but we are just thinking of booking a week in Madeira over next New Year due to the rubbish New Year celebration here in Oxford now - or more correctly lack of New Year celebrations :rolleyes:

Found this in Youtube, unfortunately my speakes are not working today, but i presume it is correct, enjoy.

Your mission, should you accept it, is to work out which whistles are Thomson Majesty.

And here's the fireworks :) Actually they start about 1 min 45 seconds into the video :rolleyes:

Just booked to go for a week over next New Year :)
