Somehow I was a bit apathetic, I wasn&#8217;t in the mood of a big trip, not sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I followed this <a href=\"https:\/\/lotuseaters.travel\/2025\/01\/31\/two-weeks-in-the-azores-our-itinerary\/\">blog<\/a> to make my planning. And didn&#8217;t check much as I wanted to go a bit with the flow. My main goal was to see whales (because swimming was not possible), trekking and see the sea. I visited Sao Miguel, Faial, Pico and Sao Jorge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although I made a couple of blunders in my planning (expired credit card, booked flights for something that I could take a ferry), it turned very good. I liked a lot, I trekked in the morning, and then I chilled in the natural pools in the afternoon. It was simple. I like the bread with corn flour: tasty, moist, fluffy, I need to try. As well, I tried the local banana and pineapple, and they were great! I dont like to go to restaurants alone so I mainly bought food in supermarkets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I used this <a href=\"https:\/\/trails.visitazores.com\/en\/trails-azores\/sao-jorge\/serra-do-topo-caldeira-do-santo-cristo-faja-dos-cubres\">page<\/a> for all treks, being the one linked the hardest one I did (go and back)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I didnt socialise much apart from one hostel that was really focus on that. But it was good to think on myself and refresh\/recharge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"689\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.thomarite.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-1024x689.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2028\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.thomarite.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-1024x689.png 1024w, https:\/\/blog.thomarite.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-300x202.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.thomarite.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-768x517.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.thomarite.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image.png 1062w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1025\" height=\"661\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.thomarite.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2029\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.thomarite.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-1.png 1025w, https:\/\/blog.thomarite.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-1-300x193.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.thomarite.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-1-768x495.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This year I travelled to the Azores Islands.
