Amazing Azores Day 2 - the West Side

When we did cherries and pits over birthday cake and ice cream, my pit was that we have to leave. I’m a little worried we have done all the “fun” things at the beginning of the trip, but I know it will be filled with more adventures. 

On Monday, we slept in and got rolling around noon (stopping into town for our SIM cards for our phones). We headed to the west side of the island to check out Sete Cidades - twin lakes each of a different color. We did some hiking and had some amazing views. We then headed to some natural swimming pools (Mosteiros) and then to Ferreira where the hot springs mix with the ocean to make for a warm ocean experience. The boys loved this as the waves come crashing in and make for a fun time. We ended up having dinner on Ponta Delgado as we got back so late. Marshall has been amazing at driving us all around this island.
