Sea Days and Ponta Delgada, Azores

Well, it’s been awhile since I’ve been able to post.  The internet aboard ship is horrendous not to mention expensive.  There’s not really much to report.  We were at sea for 6 days straight.  One morning, I did get up early and walked on the treadmill for 50 minutes.  That’s it, that’s all the exercise I’ve done, except for trying to get 10,000 steps on my Fitbit. The NCL Jade is a gorgeous ship with lots of amenities and really delicious food!

Our third port was Ponta Delgada, Azores.  We decided not to take an organized shore excursion, instead we left the ship and walked around the city for a while. We discovered that we could ride the city minibus for .50 Euro each.  There were three different routes, so we rode all three.  Lots of fun!  Ponta Delgada reminded us of San Juan, Puerto Rico.  It was an uphill walk from the port and the architecture was very similar.  As we wandered back to the ship, we stopped for a cappuccino at a little café at the port.  We have several more sea days before we get to Ireland.  Get ready for lots of photos!
