I woke at 4am, goodness only knows why but sat and watched Madeira come closer and closer full of excitement for my long run this morning. My granddaughter was planning to run with me but she certainly wasn't stirring.
At just before 7am we docked and there I was, in running shorts, tee shirt and trainers.... I'll just go and have a second cup of tea at the buffet thinks I.
That was my undoing.....once there, hands sanitised....I looked at the fruit 🍓🍑 and then beans, bacon and toast seemed to magically appear on my plate.....along with a cup of tea, sat outside looking longingly at the land I tucked in and then would you believe it? My granddaughter joined me so I had a fancy pastry washed down by more tea while she tucked into a plateful of food as well.
We did walk into town, round a Christmas market, through a pretty park and back so got the steps in but.....a run it was not.
Next stop Lanzarote I think, let's hope the legs get me off the ship before the hands help themselves to breakfast 🤣🤣🤣
Happy Monday! At least I think it's Monday.

It looks lovely, and warm and dry.. I think you definitely made the right choice there. A good breakfast, pastries and plenty of energy to explore and have fun! You can do the runs when you really need to get warm back home.. 😂
Meanwhile, I’d say, just relax into being on holiday and enjoy yourself.!..☺️
Haha well if it’s the thought that counts I’m doing really well.!.. I’ve been thinking about it but not actually running for nearly a year now what with the foot surgery and still waiting for my new prosthetic leg….🙄😂
At least I’ve been doing lots of walking.. and hills, and I swam 1000m in the pool this morning.. one day I’ll join you in real runs rather than just counting thoughts 😂😂
🍏🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏Such a good laugh & actually that run will wait! You are allowed to read & enjoy your holiday too!! Thanks for photo sharing too. Especially love the proteas!! Xx
The plants are so beautiful here, there were all sorts of roots wrapped in plastic and I was so tempted but resisted. It's cloudy over the hills though but warm. Xx
I made it fine Saturday, but with 2 sleepers I didn't want to bumble around again making tea, hence the buffet... That'll learn me! But we did walk almost 4 kilometres this morning
when I saw the photo before I looked at your post I thought I recognise that place and our holiday destination. Envious of u . Love Madeira but won’t be long till there. I never knew you were on a cruise but hope your sea legs are good, you can run around on the ship if you have cruising days. The straight that walked along from ship to town that part of the 6km Xmas run around Funchal that I have done before with Mr D. Hope u enjoy the rest of your cruise in the Canary Islands and you get some running in on land. ☀️😊
