We rijden over stille wegen. Geen auto te bekennen, niemand die over deze bergweggetjes rijdt, behalve wij en een boer. Konijntjes springen de weg over, veel dode muizen en een enkele rat op de weg (onaangevroten) en het enige geluid komt van vogels en de wind.Continue reading

We went to the thermal pools in Furnas today. It was built in 1780 by Thomas Hickling, the American consul who had the original idea for Terra Nostra Park, the Thermal Water Pool began to form part of the assembly dominated by Yankee Hall, a holiday house owned by Hickling. The pool was significantly smaller at that time, but already consisted of an “island” in the middle, with a bridge linking it to the land.
.
The Thermal Water Pool was enlarged in 1935, acquiring its present form, with the refurbishment of the Park, operated by Vasco Bensaude.

Cowjam on São Miguel. Like on Ilha das Flores, most people here are farmers. And because the farmlands are spread across the island it happens quite often that the farmer brings the cows from one land to the other via the main road on the island.
.
And around five the farmers bring the milk to one of the milkhouses on the island. In some way I love this culture. It’s a lot smaller than the cowfarms in The Netherlands. Less efficient as well, but a lot better for the planet.

Not done with photos from #IlhadasFlores yet but in the meantime we arrived at São Miguel, the main island of the Azores. And again we have the ‘luck of the Irish’ with us, cause for two weeks the weather has been pretty bad over here. Today was the first good day on the island 😍☀️

In the photo you see Lagoa de Santiago (334 meters above sea level) in the front. In the right back is Lagoa Azul. Together with Lagoa Verde (which isn’t visible in the photo) they are called Lagoa das Sete Cidades (lagoon of the seven cities). Named after the village you see in the photo. On the left you see Lagoa Rasa.

He was just sitting in his window enjoying the sun. When I asked if I could take a photo he got all happy and excited 😍
