It's #TravelTuesday! For this installment, I'm sharing more from our recent vacation in the #Azores. One of the nice things about living in #Lisbon is that there are direct flights to a number of the Azorean Islands. We visited São Miguel and Terceira. How do they compare? Find out here ⬇️

Sperm whale diving in the Azores last week - they dive up to 1000 metres.

We see the fluke - the tail of a sperm whale - coming out of the water as the whale orients itself from horizontal in the water to vertical in preparation for its deep dive as it goes hunting for squid in the depths. The tail is almost entirely vertical. The rest of the image is sea.

There is a lot of water dripping from the tail as it comes out of the water. The rest of the image is sea.

'In a debate over subsidies for flights to/from the Azores, Deputy António Lima claims "blackmail" by a major European ultra low cost carrier.'

https://simpleflying.com/azorean-politician-accuses-ryanair-blackmail/

'Clearly, Ryanair is not a fan of subsidies, and yet it sees fit to demand subsidization from Azores in order to continue services.'

We see palm trees from the ground looking up. There is an intersecting canopy of palm fronds with the light shining through them. There are many different shades of green. There are at least 5 trees in this image.

At the capacious volcanic hot spring pool at Terra Nostra Hotel, #Furnas #Azores. I swam here in the dark and in the rain completely solo at about 4.30am two nights ago. A wonderful experience. The water is brown from the minerals in the water, and it is as warm as a comfortable hot bath. #photography

An umbrella shaped hanger for robes and towels surrounded by green trees. We see the back of a bench next to it and a white building in the distance.
A large oval shaped body of water, brown in colour. There are many tall trees around and in the foreground steps. There is an island in the middle of the pool with a tree in the middle of it. We see a cloudy sky above.
We see an iron chain link fence and two stone geysers gushing hot water into the pool.

A man dressed in blue is seen taking in the view from the top of an outdoor theatre. He is standing in a concrete seat. In the distance we see the town, the sea, part of the port and the hills and clouds in the distance. He is looking at the camera.

A neo-brutalist open air concrete theatre with equally moody sky #brutalism #photography #StreetPhotography #BlackAndWhite #mono #monochrome #PontaDelgada #Azores

An open air theatre made of concrete is seen in the distance. We are looking at rows of concrete seats and the sloping raked levels of seating face-on. There is a substantial foreground with inlaid white squares on a black background. There are the masts of ships to the right and behind the theatre. To the left of the image in the foreground there are ten large horizontal concrete slabs in two columns of five each. The sky is dark and cloudy above the theatre adding to the dark brooding feel of the theatre.

It's #TravelTuesday and I'm back from my vacation in the #Azores with a hot off the press post about things to do in São Miguel.

Weather can have an impact on how a trip is perceived, but I hope this post inspires you to make the most of your travels no matter what Mother Nature throws at you.

An archipelago in the North Atlantic, the Azores comprise nine volcanic islands, each with its own distinct charm—from vineyards to port cities and more.

In 2022, the Risk & Recovery Mapping module of @CopernicusEMS assessed the volcanic risk in the island of #SãoJorge, #Azores 🇵🇹

One of the products delivered was an exposure map in the event of an eruption 🌋

Find out more at 🔗 https://emergency.copernicus.eu/EMSN129

🐦🔗: https://n.respublicae.eu/CopernicusEU/status/1650485496806617090

An infographic showing part of the volcanic risk assessment over São Jorge, Azores. The infographic shows three landscapes, with different colours highlighting different levels of population exposure to a volcanic incident. Most of these landscapes are in green, meaning population exposure is at low risk in these locations, while some small areas in red are high-risk ones.

Our AL hosts (what #Portugal calls Airbnbs and guest houses) recommended Stages for dinner in the #SaoMiguel harbour. We enjoyed a fish fry made with Azorean forkbeard (a kind of hake), grilled squid, and a bottle of Portuguese wine from the Dão. #Azores

We didn't let the rain stop us and went out for an evening walk along the harbour in #SaoMiguel. We were rewarded with a break in the clouds and a pink sunset glow.

We are planning to do some hiking in the #Azores so we wore our hiking boots to save room in our luggage. Of course, we had to take them off to get through security. #Lisbon Airport gave us plastic foot covers to keep our socks clean. A nice touch!

It's #MagazineMonday. I'm on vacation in the #Azores and thought I'd share my #Flipboard magazine on discovering #Portugal. Have a browse and give it a follow. I'll be adding lots of new posts from this and future trips.
