04/2006: Madeira, Funchal: 'have the standards slipped?...'

I’m staying in the same hotel as the last time I visited Madeira. Then I got a complimentary fruit basket and Madeira cake, and chocolates on the pillow each night. No sign of any of the aforementioned items this time. Either standards have slipped, or they didn’t like my last hotel report. But, the room is plenty large enough to swing a cat, has a desk and a view of the legendary Reids Hotel from the balcony. Hit the minibar to steady nerves after scary drive.
It’s 3 years since I was here last and I’d forgotten the all-pervasive gorgeous scent of flowers.
