    Island Tour - Day 1.3

    February 10, 2018 in Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

    The coastline is very rugged with black volcanic rock. Marco showed us several swimming areas and I couldn’t believe how unsafe they looked....rocky with huge swells. The wild white calla lilies blooming along the edge of the cliffs seemed like such a stark contrast to the black volcanic rock. Hydrangea also grow wild here but they were not in bloom.

    It was a long 8 hour tour but we saw such a variety of sights....very impressive for a small island 18 x 29 km.
