hi looks beautiful - I have never heard of the Azores until just a few years ago and I used to read my guidebooks for Europe I thought from cover to cover! when one of our Consutlants had said he was heading for a couple of weeks. I had thought I might be here this month from visiting Madeira but I stayed longer in Morocco - at least here with VT we can look and dream in one anothers photos and write-ups!
Angiebabe, it is time to discover my archipelago. There are direct flights from London to Ponta Delgada with our regional airline SATA.
thankyou its good to know - maybe next year...this year is already booked up so no more opportunities at the moment

You are welcome, Sveta.
Looking at your travel pages, it seems you've miss Belgrade!
Well, I can't remeber exactly. I think I was about 20 years old. Could be in 1985.
Good old times, but it is still a party town!
Balated birthday greetings Antonio! Best wishes and hugs from sunny Ljubljana! (~_~)
