Due to heavy rain the flower festival parade which was supposed to happen today (Sunday) afternoon, was postponed for tomorrow (Monday) at 2pm. Saturday's program went well with school children fulfilling the "Wall of Hope" each one with a different flower. On Funchal downtown the fower perfume stands in the air as there are flower carpets covering some sidewalks, there is a flower exhibition and some other flower decorations on the main squares of the city.

In 29 years this is the second time the flower festival had to be postponed due to bad weather conditons with the first time being in 1983. Weather forecasts are predicting rain until Wednesday but we hope tomorrow afternoon rain will give us a break....
