A21. Cape Town, South Africa-St.Helena- Ascension Island- Azores* (Ocean trip)
This 48-days trip starts in Cape Town where we can see whales, penguins(!) and all kind of dolphins. Our first leg takes us to one of the famoust little islands in the Atlantic Ocean: St. Helena. Not only because of Napoleon, but also because of the glorious nature. We will stretch our legs here and take a hike. (Entree fee ca. € 20)
Then we’ll sail northward with the SE trade wind and will arrive on the (British) Ascension Island. For this Island everybody needs a permit, which we have to arrange before the trip begins. (Entree fee about € 25) Also this island is volcanic and a oasis of rest in the middle of the Ocean!
On June 19th we arrive at the Azores, on the island Faial. In the harbour of Horta we will see of our painting from 5 years ago still exists on the “boulevard of fame” This is an old habit here: every ship makes a painting on the quay!
The Azores is one of our favorite places in the world, especially in the summer time: the weather is almost always beautiful and the islands are covered with flowers. Each of the 9 islands has its own character! It’s really worth it to stay here a bit longer. Ho(s)tels are not too expensive and also living here is rather cheap.
