It's my birthday and I'm 39 now!
I wanted a change and looked around for destinations within the EU. After thinking about the Canary Islands, Madeira or the Azores I made the decission and booked a flight to the volcanic islands west of Portugal.
I shot this with my new 2 in 1 YOGA BOOK
I think that you can see the difference in image quality (this one was shot with my old phone).
So I booked the ticket but it didn't work. The payment didn't go through although I had enough money on my account. Because it was Saturday I couldn't reach my bank. The flight was going from Brussels on 1300 hours Monday. I took the train and hoped that the bank would send the payment on Monday morning.
After phoning with the bank it was clear that there wouldn't be a payment so I went straight to the TUI shop and there were 9 seats left. It was 15 euros more than online but I had what I wanted and waited for the flight.
On the way to the gate:
The gate:
Soon I would be in this plane over the large Atlantic Ocean! A Boeing 737 with it's winglets for better aerodynamics. This plane is made out of Composite which is stronger than metal but I don't want to get too technical here or make it appear as if I would make advertisement for it (BUY NOW on http://www.boeing.com lol).
After I landed I knew that this was the best decission ever. Bye bye Amsterdam:
Hello Azores:
I hitchhiked to Ponta Delgada. A young man gave me a lift. We met in the evening and his girlfriend and him took me to a super nice bar. The prices here are low and because I am crypto-rich (a few thousand) it was no problem to pay for everyone.
I found something brown on the street. It looked like hashish (I have seen that in TV once) and decided to smoke it. I don't know if I felt something but I got hungry and enjoyed every second of my last days of being 38 years old. Is that the effect? Harhar.
Because the video upload doesn't work now, I will make another post in the near future after I figured out what the solution is. Yes, I got some nice footage!
In the meantime I wish you all a good day. I am happy that the Equality Fork is on the same day as my birthday.
I must admit that I have not heard of Azores before. It looks like a nice place and looks like you had a great time.

Hello fellow Steemian. I'm glad that you chose to visit the Azores. It's not by chance that many call it the Pearl of the Atlantic. It has plenty of amazing natural wonders to be explored and unique cultural features to be experienced.
I've seen you flew to Ponta Delgada, the main city of the island of São Miguel. Without diminishing any of the other islands's worth, São Miguel is one the most diverse islands of the archipelago. I hope you are staying there for at least a week to get the chance to travel around the island to see the "lagoas", to taste the "cozido das Furnas", and to just let that peaceful environment fill you up with grace.
Let me know how you liked your visit after it's over. I wish you the most wonderful time there.

Absolutely, will stay open-end...
You answered very fast and with lots of text, nice!!
Thanks for the best wishes!
I am glad that I decided to come here. The story of Columbus who found help on his way back from America and the idea that the islanders always got unique and amazing goods in exchange for water, wine and food are fascinating me.
I will definitely walk around and likely climb the pico. First I want to go to the hot bath which is always 38 degrees Celsius warm. My poor bones need it. I still have foot problems from walking too much but my new Nike VaporMax help in recovering.
It's nice to have money after a long period of poverty. Are you here at the moment? If you want to meet up one day let me know.

I currently live in Coimbra, in Portugal's mainland, and unfortunately it's been a while since I visited the Azores. I've visited the islands of São Miguel, Faial and Pico some years ago, and I've been in love with the Azores since then. I've always wanted to come back someday, but the opportunity has not come yet.
The hot bath is really nice; good choice! Keep posting!

I am sitting since 5 hours in a bar, had 2 small beer, 1 coffee, 2 bread with saussage and 1 with cheese and just paid 6,50 Euromonies.... I always give plenty of tip to compensate for the slightly bad feeling of not paying enough.. Answer: I had a good morning joint

The best is, that it could be that Atlantis was located here before it was destroyed overnight by Zeus who was angry about the greed of the people. Thx man!
