The Azores are a group of islands in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean: closer to Portugal (about 2 hours flying) than the USA (about 5 hours flying). We chose to go there in the summer of 2008 because of the lure of unspoilt, natural beauty, great walking, flowers, birds, whale and dolphin watching, volcanic craters, lagoons, hot springs, and above all peace and quiet.
Furthermore, as there are nine islands in all, we had the idea that, if we liked them, we could keep going back year after year to discover a new one. Did we like the Azores? Oh yes.
The Azores weather promised to be warm (it's actually described as temperate maritime); we were advised to take light clothes and an extra layer for the evenings and we were warned that a waterproof may be useful!
