Azores day 7

The morning we said goodbye to many of the GAdventures group that were heading home, then Liam and I headed to the Museum which used to be a convent, built in the 1600s..

Afternoon we went to the bull run. We were super excited about it, but nervous. We saw some scary sights which I have not shared on here as it was upsetting, hence why we left. Its an age old tradition which we found out was not up our alley. To each their own, but we were both uncomfortable physically and emotionally about it.

We had a fun walk home which was a good trek. Its very safe here and we met several kitties along the way 🐈 🐈‍⬛️ . Bought $35 worth of pastries and ate them back at the hotel.

Azores day 6

Morning hike through Misterios Negros trail, lunch at Restaurante Rocha for traditionally prepared Alcatra De Carne (slow cooked beef in a clay pot for 6 hours) which was incredibly delicious! Then went to Sao Sebastiao church, the oldest on the island which has frescoes from the 15th century!
Finally, we went to Algar Do Carvao, an ancient lava tube!

Azores day 4
First hike of the day was 12kms (a steep 6kms up then 6kms down) to Lagoa do Fogo (lake of fire) some along some aquaducts that were installed a looonggg time ago. It was a really pretty hike up.

Azores day 3 cont..
The afternoon was spent at the thermal hot springs in Furnas and the Terra Nostra Botanical Gardens. The water colour here is due to the high iron content.

Azores day 3
Did an 8km hike from Ribeira Funda to Maia. It was all along the northern coast where the waves are usually big. Today was quite calm due to the beautiful weather but still breathtaking.
83 year old tapped out mid way, 12 year old and myself did great but legs, knees and bums are sore!
I have lots of pics from today so next post is the afternoon at the hot springs.
