We already passed Furnas on our way from the airport to Faial da Terra. We instantly smelled the rotten eggs while passing Furnas :-) There are of yourse no warehouse of rotten eggs but lots of hot springs and geysers. We also tried corn, cooked in one of the geysers and drunk of the numerous different mineral water springs.Read more

We heard about a very famous dish everyone was eating in Furnas. It's a combination of different types of meat and vegatables cooked inside the ground with the heat of the earth. Arriving at the place it was so funny to see all the little pyramids and the signs indicating the restaurant to which the pod in the ground belongs to.

We also went on a hike in the forest to see some waterfalls and take a swim.Read more

Chá Gorreana & ‎⁨‎⁨Miradouro do Cintrão
August 14, 2022 in Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C
Chá Gorreana is a tea plantation and it was established in 1883. Because the Azores are basically made out of volcanic lava it has a very rich soil and therfor is a good place to grow and harvest Tea. We took a tour and of course tried all the different teas.

We also visited the Miradouro do Cintrão with a beautiful view over the cliffs and the ocean.Read more

Relaxing in hot springs embedded in nature :-)

Funny sidenote: The water contains a lot of sulfur which is turning a white bathing suit into orange. If you have used sunscreen like me the skin will also turn into a carrot color as if you have used to much tanning lotion.Read more

Confidently ignoring the signs that it's not allowed to enter we went on a journey to explore an abandoned hotel. It was such a strange feeling walking through the hotel and rooms.

It's time to explore the next island called Pico. It's also the name of the very prominent vulcano on the island. But first we needed some proper lunch :-)

Sidenote: I'm also very proud of my mum and sister to follow me on the minimalist traveling with just a carry on bag :-DRead more

Right from the beginning when we arrived on Pico and eating lunch we knew that this island is going to be different when it comes to food. There are so many fancy restaurants with amazing food. The Magma restaurant was my favorite :)Read more

Exploring Pico

The island is pretty small and I think we circuit the island at least three times :-) We explored a lot of places for example a lava cave, fancy restaurants, beautiful views and a impresive tree.

Daytrip to Island Faial
August 24, 2022 in Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C
Early in the morning we took the ferry to Faial and drove straight to the big crater for a hike. Caldeira do Cabeço Gordo is the center of the island. The volcanic crater is definitely one of the highlights of the island. The huge crater is about two kilometers in diameter and 400 meters deep.

After the hike we wandered around the town visited the iconic Peter Café Sport which is a place all the sailors go to when they stop at Faial during their sailing trip around the world. You can also find hundreds of paintings along the coast with all the teams who sailed around the world.Read more

My sister and mum already left back home and I was flying one day later. I always wanted to sleep in one of those capsule hotels. How convenient that I have a long stopover in Zurich and the airport has a capsule hotel :)Read more
