We finally reached land in the Azores, although we are still 780 miles off the coast of Portugal. It is kind of the Hawaii of the Atlantic, even being known for their pineapples. We docked in Ponta Delgado, which is a cute, small town and pretty sleepy on a Sunday morning. We didn’t take a tour today as there wasn’t anything very interesting so we just walked around the town to see the city gates (see picture) and some of their quaint churches. We did find the town had one nice thing - FREE WIFI! Now I can get caught up on emails and blog postings without spending a small fortune on the ship’s slow Internet.
We discovered an interesting coincidence last night. We found that the British couple who share our dinner table not only have the room next to ours, but their last name is also Napier. He is Chris and she is Maureen and they are from Northumberland.
