Following our cable-car ride we moved on to Blandy's Wine Lodge in Funchal for a tasting session.
On our arrival we were given vouchers for two free glasses of Madeira wine each… but somehow Wilson applied his charm to the voucher lady and scored some extra tokens. As a result, he has had way too much to drink.
In his defence, he said that the glasses were very small and he didn't know that Madeira Wine was so… at which point he drifted off.
The voucher lady and I helped him outside for a bit of a sit down, but we had to get a taxi back to the ship.
I really must keep a closer eye on Wilson's alcohol consumption for the rest of the cruise!
Tomorrow we shall be in Santa Cruz in La Palma, the first of the Canary Islands we shall be visiting — I hope he hasn't got a hangover when we arrive…
