Today was a great day! We had beautiful weather and the absolute best tour guides, who shared some of the most special locations on the island. As you scroll through these pictures, you’ll notice three things. 1. Pico Mountain looms large and it’s difficult to take a picture where it doesn’t take centre stage. 2. We enjoyed sunny, warm conditions as we toured the coastline, but as we climbed into higher elevations, we drove into the clouds. Very cool! 3. Today was both fun and informative. Carlos and Laura are more than just tour guides; they add a personal touch to each and every stop. They are knowledgeable, gracious and kind.
Our first stop was just outside Madalena at a vineyard. You can see Faial Island in the distance.
