Faial island

Started the day driving to the north coast to take in the extremely rugged volcanic coastline together. Its amazing how different the south coast is from the north coast. Drove through several volcanic black stone villages and walked around some violent tidal pools with huge wave collisions with the rocks.

Then off to the ferry port to cross over to the island of Faial. Easily the smallest ferry i have ever been on to cross an oceanic body of water. Only 30 minutes but it was rough. The boat got tossed around pretty good, and Tita's tummy even moreso.

Arrived at the town of Horta and straight to the hotel. Had a quick lunch in the old town and then we both rested for a few hours to shake off the rough ferry ride and catch up a bit on sleep.

Then got to the seaside and had a beer at famous sailor bar Peter Cafe Sport. Wandered some pretty streets and would up at a very authentic seafood restaurant Atletico for supper. And finished our evening lounging on the couches off our hotel lobby with more backgammon. I am not allowed to indicate who has been winning lately, so i shall not breach that trust 😉Read more
