Weather forecast was for rain in the afternoon so got up early and by 0800hrs 31 July were on our Scooter on the Northern coastal road heading West
Objective was the hike PRC2FAI to the Porto da Faja which starts in the village of Praia do Norto
By 0900hrs we arrived at the start - weather not looking too good
the flowers cheer us up
The first part of the hike was through small fields separated by bamboo
first glimpse of the Faja below
into the woods
another glimpse of the Faja
by now the rain has set in
entering the Faja along a stream
typical old stone house surounded by vines
looking back to the cliffs down which we had descended
walking in the rain ....
Porto da Faja - raining hard. There is a popular sandy beach here - no takers today
we sheltered from the rain under this handy tarpaulin doing Sudoku while we waited for the rain to lessen
sort of manor house with church
more vines
rain stopped
wonderful display of Montbrecias
We were planning to do another hike but weather looked too unsettled. So drove back to Horta for lunch on Dutch Link - arrived 13.30hrs. We were driving in cloud/fog most of the way back.
