It's carnival time on Madeira, on our way to the main promenade in Funchal where you watch the parade we had to pass by where they all gather into their groups.
Wonderful costumes and better photo ops. here, more room and less movement, when they get into the samba beat those feathers become a bit of a blur.
Boys and girls, waiting to get in line.
The temperature is 16c a bit chilly for these girls, not to worry once they get samba-ring down the street they will soon warm up.
We are now at the end of the holding area and the parade is about to start. 9pm Saturday 06/02/16. More to follow.
