It's time for us to move on and say goodbye. Just a quick chat over breakfast with Bernd and Christel,
who are slowly heading home today and a heartfelt thanks to Madame Grace and Rogerio, who have treated us well and warmly.
A memory photo with everyone and then off to the ferry.
Everything is going according to plan and smoothly. After a quick stop at the supermarket in Madalena, it is clear that we will be cooking for ourselves today in our new vacation apartment. We are still 45 minutes away from it. We drive the longest, straightest road in the Azores past Pico towards the east to Foros.
Facts:
The longitudinal EN3 is about 23 kilometers long, including 9 kilometers of straight stretch. It is even longer than the width of 4 islands of the archipelago.
The length of this straight road also corresponds exactly to the distance between Pico and the island of Faial. This road is in itself an attraction. It is considered one of the most beautiful roads in Portugal as it offers a wonderful view of Mount Pico. But it also leads to one of the most beautiful lakes on Pico: Lagoa do Capitão.
However, we are not visiting it today.
A beautifully located house
with an unobstructed view of the sea.
The house belongs to the restaurant of the same name, Bioma. It seems relatively new with its own pool.
It's also nice not to sleep in a hotel and not having to go out to eat.
Restaurant guests can watch us swim and look directly at our plates on the terrace. But that doesn't bother us with our delicious Macarao com alho e camarão (pasta with garlic and shrimp) - well, maybe a little.
By the way, we just paid €4 for 1/2 kg of fresh shrimp here. In the supermarket, you can't get frozen ones for under €23 a kilo.
Pico is the whale watching spot in the Azores. It's good that the restaurant doesn't open until 6:00 PM, so guests can't easily confuse us with the gentle mammals. 😂
PS: Anyone who prefers to live here without being observed should rent the house from Monday to Wednesday - the restaurant is closed then.
