Ponte Delgada, Azores – October 15, 2008

Greetings from a WiFi bar in Ponte Delgada. Finally got somewhere where the internet was free and fast, so this is live and up to date. We arrived this morning and got off the ship just to walk around.

Not a lot to see, but the new pier has some nice bars and shops, and we found this place where we could get on the Internet for free, with the purchase of a beer, great deal.

It was a nice day in port, we opted to not go to see the crater lakes, still looks foggy in the mountains. We leave at 3 pm. Hope to maybe see some whales, since whale watching is very popular here, and they have been spotting some from all of the posting on the tour shops. Saw some more dolphins last night and/or maybe some small whales, whatever they were, they were larger than  the dolphins we are used to seeing in Florida.

When we left the port, we did see a “whale Watching” boat following something. either a larger species of dolphins, or a small species of whales.

Hope everyone is doing well, we are getting ready to go for the next 5 days at sea, next land stop, Ft. Lauderdale.
