Ponta Delgado, The Azores after 6 days at Sea

Today we arrived in Ponta Delgado, having travelled 2400 miles, from Half Moon Cay in the Bahamas.

We have one last stop before Southampton, a half day stop in Vigo, Spain on Saturday.

Today we took a short guided tour of the San Miguel Island in the Azores. We have seen a pineapple  plantation greenhouses and propagation!
Then churches, landscapes and geothermic power, travelled across island to their lake district  to see a volcanic lake and the panoramic views, which were in the end cloud obscured panoramas - disappointing, but an  OK trip.

I have attached some shots from Ponta Delgado which seems a nice safe temperate place.  - back in UK, Bank Holiday Monday.
Take care everyone Mo and Rob.
