Azores, finishing
Ces trente derniers jours, le Raffût aura vécu au rythme des allers et venus de ses invités. Car entre mi-juin et mi-juillet, on en a vu du monde.
La dernière quinzaine de juin, ce sont Joanna, Yann et Chloé, cousins d’Adri, qui sont venus nous rendre visite. Quand les deux premiers venaient pour 2 semaines atterrissant à Punta Delgada, la troisième venait pour une semaine à Terceira.
La première quinzaine de juillet, ce sont JB le frère de Manu et Bouly qui ont pris le relais. Et quand l’un venait pour 2 semaines de Punta Delgada, l’autre venait pour une semaine d’Horta… Au même moment, les Adri parents came to visit him alternating between ballads on the racket and visits to islands via ferry. And as on top of that, we had to juggle the schedule for the World Cup, you'll understand this required some planning, which in fact has punctuated the end of our trip to the Azores.
Like virtually none of them has made the same journey during his stay, you tell them in detail, I already can not remember, and then it would be very long. But if the area used by our guests were different, their occupations, they have been common.
Then without preamble, in brief and in disarray, a small summary of the major activities of the hullabaloo in the Azores.
The red wire? The world. The sad
benefits of blue we were not prevented from follow much of the race in bars frequented ports which we now know every nook and cranny. Again, we love football or you do not like it, viewing conditions were common to all: Sagres or Superbock pressure and Toast Mista (local ham and cheese sandwich). The winning formula is certainly it.
The attraction? Dolphins.
Apart Bouly and two times 45 minutes at sea in a week, all squatters had the privilege of seeing dolphins come and play with the boat and we reward a few spins. Always nice.
The leitmotif? Partying
During our stay in the Azores, we were treated to an impressive number of local festivities. As it is not the type to make the difficult, they were tested. Being in the right place at the right time is not always obvious, but when there is, in general, we are not disappointed, the atmosphere is guaranteed and the prices are unbeatable.
question? But where are the 20-30 years? A priori
Portugal or the United States for their study or work. This age is actually very poorly represented in the archipelago. Amazing.
activities? Tourism
When we were not doing a football or to watch, we rented cars to the tourist attractions. In two previous articles, we already windswept beauty of the Azores islands. I do not dwell on this point and conclude by saying that its vegetation, its landforms, lakes, and its landscapes are without doubt one of the most beautiful places if not the most beautiful what we have discovered since the start.
But like all good things must end some day he must go. And that day is today. We are Tuesday, July 20, it is 17h local. Anne's sister Adri joins us tonight and we leave in the wake towards Cadiz. 1000 miles separate this town west of Gibraltar from Punta Delgada, where we find ourselves now. We estimate the crossing time in eight days with a priori with the wind instead of against.
soon, Julien.
