Sunday the 22nd
of April 2012
Today we were in our final
port of call before returning to Southampton and home. It was Ponta Delgada in
the Azores and a beautiful place it is too. We did not take a tour today just
stayed around town but one could see from the scenery around that the beauty of
this place is spectacular and people who did go around the island confirmed
this.
It is fresh and clean and
Portuguese and the weather today helped immensely because it was warm and
sunny, just the sort of day to take delight in strolling around and stopping in
the town squares to drink coffee and watch the world go by; this is basically
what we did; a lovely day.
The architecture is very
Portuguese and everywhere looked so clean and tidy.
When we got back on board
there was time to sit on the back deck for awhile in the sun. Suuske had a swim
in the pool and then just before we left port we had another “sailaway” time
with Black Watch orchestra and Fely. Then we had a
leisurely dinner watching the beautiful scenery of the Island slip away with a
fantastic sunset behind us; a very apt and special way to leave our last port
of call.
