The fish market & return to Funchal waterfront

The coach dropped us back in Funchal so we decided to wander around a little before aiming for the cable car back up to Monte! First stop the fish market, most stalls empty by then.
Some might remember the tiled mural on an earlier post with long black fish.
More information on the Espada can be found here http://www.love-madeira.com/espada-fish.html - it makes a fascinating read!
Not sure what fish this was but it sure was ugly!

A closer look at the cruise liner we'd seen from Monte. They stop at Funchal most days.
An interesting statue
The former Beatles' yacht, once again.
This olive tree is allegedly over 2000 years old, slightly bigger than ours!
The girls did a bit of shopping whilst the boys had a bit of local culture...
...and a local pint!
