Flores in the Azores is supposed to be very pretty. We're sitting on board under a grey, cold sky, in howling wind and rain - it could be the outer Hebrides really. To be fair, the island is attractive, with lots of deep blue hydrangeas and other European plants. The birds have changed from bright yellow bananaquits to sparrows and blackbirds and we have real seagulls. It's a small place, not much more than a village, with some 20 odd boats, but very friendly and the local cafe served a lovely meal, with no cabbage at all! I think we'll be here for a few days, but we'll let you know.
