And just like that their homeward bound after an absolutely incredible week on such a beautiful island.
They are currently on their first flight of the day to Lisbon with many hours of travel still to go, but they 100% say it's worth every hour for the experiences they've had this week!!

That's a wrap for the activities and WOW what a final day they spent the morning canyoning at Ribeira dos Caldeiroes, waterfalls, natural water slides amazing. Then after lunch they headed off on an epic hike with stunning views , wading through natural pools and even sampling nectar from a plant that helps boost energy.
They truly had an amazing day, they are now on route back to the hostel to get freshened up do some packing and then head into town for a local festival called the Assumption of Mary

Another great day yesterday they started their day visiting the Gorreana tea plantation where they sampled lots of fresh teas and ate chocolate pie, it was then on to Cozido das Furnas where they watched the process of cooking meat in deep holes under ground using the heat coming from the geothermal pools next to the are, then it was over to Terra Nostra Botanic Gardens where they wandered through the stunning gardens and took a dip in the iron rich thermal pool.

And finally it was an evening of celebration with a pizza and cake party in the hostel gardens for two Explorers celebrating their birthday's πŸŽ‚

Wow what a day yesterday they headed to sete Cidades where they spent the morning mountain biking round two of the lakes and the afternoon kayaking on those lakes, before having a swim
They kayaked through the seven arch bridge
(There is one arch for each island of the Azores)
The views were simply breathtaking and they had the most amazing day.

They found out their guide is a scout leader thete in sao miguel so the gave him one of their international neckers and had a good chat about what scouting is like in the Azores

They then headed back to the hostel to freshen up before heading out for their evening meal

Another great day yesterday, slower paced with lots of walking they wandered through the Jardim Botanico Antonio Borges botanic gardens then on to the Gruta do Carvao to explore the Lava caves & tubes
before arriving at the Pineapple culture centre followed by the Arruda Pineapple plantation

They ended their day with a couple of hours at the beach before heading back to the hostel to get ready to head out for their evening meal 🌴 πŸŒ‹πŸπŸŒŠβ›±οΈ

Another amazing day yesterday they headed to the Sete Cidades Caldera where they did a hike around a section of the Caldera rim, the views were spectacular

(legend has it the waters are a beautiful mix of blue and green because a local princess fell in love with a shepherd but the king banned them from seeing each other and on their final encounter they wept a river of tears, forming the two lakes the green formed from the tears of the green eyed Princess and the blue formed from the tears of the blue eyed shepherd πŸ’šπŸ©΅)

After their hike they headed to the Caldeira Velha Centre where they relaxed in the Geo Thermal Pools.
They all left feeling relaxed and refreshed !!

Well after such a long travel day on Saturday,
They spent yesterday morning exploring the local area before heading out on a Whale & Dolphin catamaran trip,
And my goodness were they lucky they saw 3 sei whales and several large pods of dolphins (with tiny baby calves) including Atlantic spotted dolphins.

Dreams were made for alot of the Explorers and the excitement, emotion & smiles were in abundance on that boat yesterday!!

They then headed for a local open air pool for a swim before grabbing their evening meal and unwinding before bed.

After a very long day of travelling and around 2 hrs sleep in 36 hrs they arrived safely at their accommodation last night hungry and very tired, but after a good night's sleep they were raring to go this morning and get exploring!!
