We arrived at Terceira a few days ago and have mainly been busy getting the boat ready for  the next passage to Ireland which we start tomorrow.
 
As we don’t have time to write a full blog here are a few photos to whet the appetite. We hope to write some more in the quiet weather that is forecast for our trip.

Fairy tale church.

Lots of the buildings are decorated like this but in a multitude of colours, they look like perfectly iced cakes most of the time.

Improbable fumaroles, hot and sulphurous.

Rocky coastline hiding natural bathing pools, there are two here.

We have spent time here in the Azores with some of the nicest and most honest people in the world.
