| Crater Lakes |
The final tour we did from Aurora was to visit the crater lakes in Sete Cidades, 10 miles north west of Ponta Delgada. If you look at the photograph very carefully, you might be able to see the reason why these crater lakes have so many visitors. Not only is the setting beautiful, but if the sun is shining and there are no clouds – not the case for our visit as there were some clouds – the farthest lake is meant to look blue and the lake nearest the camera is green. Quite honestly, not all of us could see this – and we all took off our sunglasses just in case it made a difference, but we dutifully took our photograph and are now publishing it on the web!
As the title of this blog suggests, we are now on our way home to Southampton having cruised about 40,000 miles in 95 days, visiting 29 ports.
I hope my blog has enabled anyone who has taken the time to read all the entries (and I admit yes, there were a lot of them!) to appreciate some of the enjoyment, pleasure and excitement from what has been for us the voyage of a lifetime. Yes, photographs can show you where we’ve been, but the memories will last us forever.
Thank you for keeping up with our adventures during this Grand Voyage and should we ever be lucky enough to do another one, then yes, I’ll be there with another blog. It won’t be until January 2013, but watch this space!
Until the next time, goodbye!
