The Azores

---

A week in The Azores with 3 young teenagers

We found a good priced trip to the islands of myths and dreams and couldn't resist.
We didn't find Atlantis but what we found was equally good and we will surely return to this paradise and all the wonderful beings that guards this special place.

(An old trip now but I wanted to try how this worked)

It's hot!!
I wonder how the skin stayed on these kids after spending almost one week soaked in water

Let us sleep
No no no kids, time for another excursion, c'mon it will be great fun

First whale sighting
Man that was exciting, can't even begin to describe the feeling. You have to go there and find out for yourselves, truly amazing

Dolphins
Now aint they the cutest thing

Watching the Dolphins
That was also something out of this world, to watch them swim by, to a backdrop of the exceptional blue waters of the Azures. Mother and calf. The Big Blue all over again

did you get to see them
they swam past us in an instant and it took some tries to get a good view

Boat trip
Modern wave breakers
