Back to the Netherlands
Road to Sao Roque After a short stay in Piedade we biked to Sao Roque. Ofcourse we had some nice views. And who are we, not to show them to you. Sao Roque The trip to Sao Roque was hard, but it was the last long trip before our flight back to the Netherlands. In Sao Roque we walked around the town. It was just as lovely as the rest of the island. The last view of Pico was setteling in. Our last ride on our bikes we went down a road with a velocity of 50 kilometers a hour. That was fun. Return from Azores Our last flight in…

Lajes do Pico
Road to Lajes do Pico On our way from Madalena to Lajes do Pico, we drove past the highest stratovolcano on the Azores and in Portugal. Its height is 2.351 meters. Just outside of Madalena we stopped because of the magnificent view. On one side we saw the volcano with some old vineyards and on the other side the ocean with a scenery of Horta in the distance. It was beautiful. We must have stayed there for half an hour. Pico island is a different island than Flores. Pico has more volcanic beaches and Flores has more high ground. They are both beautiful in there own way. Museum of the…

Arriving in Horta and Madalena
Horta Luckily for us the flight to the island Faial was much calmer, then our flight to Flores. We still had to assemble our bikes before we went on to our next stay in Horta. The most beautiful thing we saw in these few days, was the coastline with the blue water bashing into the black rocks. We adored the weather because it was great and warm. Whale factory We know Horta for it’s whale watching. This used to be whale hunting. We went to a museum called Azores Ocean Observatory. This is an old factory where they pulled the whales inside a courtyard and cut them to peace’s. It’s…

Leaving Faja Grande
Lakes Negra and Comprida We think Faja Grande is one of the most beautiful places we have seen in the Azores. With our bikes it was really hard to reach our goal to end up back in Santa Cruz. Flores is a small island, definitely worth visiting, but think twice when you want to visit it with bikes. On our way to Santa Cruz we wanted to see the lakes Caldeira Negra and Caldeira Comprida. Which we should have seen with the aborted walk from Faja Grande. It was very cold at 600 meters high, but the lakes were worth the climb. Leaving Flores We wanted to visit Corvo on…
