And thank you for noticing @photrun! I see you visited the Azores last year. My brother @dhimmel and I visited last August and had a similarly wonderful time.
Actually, we are still here :D We picked these island as our next digitally nomadic destination back in last November and we planned to stay here for a couple of months but the pandemic has a kind of trapped us here :D But its´s a beautiful place, no doubts. We are on Sao Miguel, where did you guys stay?
Wooow, that´s a beautiful shot. Camping in this stunning wilderness must have been an amazing experience. We have been on Sao Miguel only the whole time but this island is large and diverse enough to keep us entertained for months :) I actually run a special weekly series on by blog called Beauties of Azores where I introduce my readers to interesting places we have visited here. This is one of my favorite episodes. The lakes around Sete Cidades are so beautiful. I am sure you visited this part of the island too, didn´t you?
Yeah we camped at the Parque de Campismo Sete Cidades one night. It's a free campground with running water! We met some nice locals there, as it was a holiday weekend. Unfortunately, we also had some food stolen, but luckily the thieves spared taking my Trail Designs titanium inferno wood stove.
Wow, I am very surprised to hear this... We have been living here on Sao Miguel for about a half a year now and it feels like the safest place we have been to so far. I thought the crime rate is literally zero here. I think you must have been very unlucky to have such experience and I am very sorry about it... Hopefully it didn´t spoil your overall impression about the islands :)
Happy to hear that ;) We have very similar feelings about this place. Just too bad we have been under a very strict stay-at-home order for more than a month here so we cannot go out and appreciate the beauty of local nature right now... Hopefully they will ease the restrictions soon.
Haha you are right! :) I need to get used to linking my older posts from Hive, even though they were actually created on Steem. Thanks for the reminder!

Sao Miguel and Santa Maria. Hiking around Santa Maria via the Grande Route (starting and ending at airport) was a highlight.

No, overall it was a great visit with plenty of nature and friendly locals.
