Thankyou Manuela.

No 23. And QE2 And an autumnal hue from QE2 bridge.

This whole series of photos has been beautiful, what a great advert for Madeira! :lol: :lol:

QE2 is still there :)

Stephen, QE2 Due to leave at 18.00 tomorrow 30.12.06

Stephen - I like this one set against Christmas lights :D

That is just gorgeous, Phyllis :D :D

Thanks Phyllis, that is beautiful. I really must try to get to Madeira in December :)

This was Friday's Daily Picture And, now......on to the FIREWORKS :D :D

How did I miss that! :whoops: Ships arriving: In port today; P&O Oriana 8.00 Black Prince 8.00 MSC Musica( the large ship on the right) 9.00 Thompson Destiny 8.00 Van Gough 12.00 Athena 13.00 Aida Blu 13.00 I think this is the Black Prince: a bit difficult to identify as Sun is on the camera lens. Can we see Aurora in the Beer House? ( the umbrellas in the foreground. good to see that they are needed, temp of 70 F) And Madeira from Oriana

Now some are leaving and more coming?

:?: :?: Musica was scheduled to leave before the party started :?: but she seemed to leave early and Aidablu moved into her spot

Strangely Oriana is leaving at a minute to Midnight. Wonder what time the fireworks begin? I would not be happy if I missed them due to sail away. 31 Oriana » Blandy 08:00 23:59 La Corunha Tenerife Oriana Length: 260,97 Calado: 8,20 31 Black Prince » J.F.Martins 08:00 2007-01-01 02:00 San Sebastian Gomera Dublin Black Prince 31 Thomson Destiny » Ag.

Think Keith said something about this, but not sure what :?: Think they just hang out off shore to see everything :?: :D

And possibly leave a mooring for one of the ships that has spent the afternoon off shore. That is what happened between MSC lirica & Minerva11 on Nov 3rd, when we were there. Possibl cost more to berth into another day?
