AZORES-PontaDelGada-Day 7 on a transatlantic cruise to Europe

Today, I took a private group tour of Ponta Delgada in the Azores, a Portuguese archipelago of 9 lush volcanic islands.  It is situated in the Atlantic Ocean and considered the Westernmost point of Europe.

We toured Azores’ lush mountainsides, hot springs, waterfalls, parks, blue& green lakes, and countryside populated by smiling cows..  Highlights were visits to Sete Cidades with its famous blue and green lake and Caldeira Velha, a warm waterfall tempting its visitors to take a bath, surrounded by fern trees and a hot spring with boiling water.


Photos will be posted later.
