Something completly different for me. Funchal is green paradise.
Not only that I have seen a lot of green towns. Here You can smell all different scents of Tropical flowers. I really enjoy it all the way.
Nesto sasvim drugacije za mene. Funchal je zeleni raj. Ne samo da sam vidio velik broj zelenih gradova. Ovdje mozes osjetiti miris svog Tropskog cvijeca. Stvarno sam uzivao cijelim putem.

Very good promotion for vessel. For all of us there will be a nice glass of cava and some delicious finger food. Needless to say there is always TV and Newpapers. I become use of this occasions.
Izmjena Plaketa. Kod svake promjene rasporeda putovanja uvijek imamo ceremoniju izmjene plaketa. Za tu prigodu zapovjednik docekuje visoke goste Luke i samog Grada. Dobra promocija broda. Za sve nas tu ce se naci casica dobre Cava i nesto ukusne hrane za jesti. Nepotrebno je reci da je tu uvijek prisutna TV i Novinari. Ja sam se vec navikao na takove situacije.

After while I had a long walk alone. I saw beauty of this city. there is such a lot to see. Photos will explain better than words. One of the targets is to visit a good friend at Fatima. Just I would like mine folks to be with me.
Duga setnja poslje dosta vremena. Vidio sam ljepote ovog grada. Fotografije ce to bolje objasniti nego rijeci. Jedan on zadataka bio bi posjeta starom prijatelju u Fatimi. Samo za to bi volio da su moji sa mnom.

Another port at Morocco. Agadir. Huge comercial port, with facilities for large number of Fishing boats. Export of fish is major product.
Jos jedna luka u Maroku. Agadir. Velika komercijalna luka, sa velikim sadzajima koje koristi velik broj ribarskih brodova. Izvoz ribe je najvazniji proizvod.
