110527 Casa do Rosário

I would like to introduce this hotel to everyone. It's located in Ribeira Grande, São Miguel. It´s a lovely place for tourists. The decoration and atmosphere of room are characteristic. The owner is very kind of sharing information with guests. I am the first Chinese who stayed in this hostel. I strongly recommend you to choose "Casa do Rosário" if you travel in São Miguel, Azores.

Each September, Ribeira Grande will hold a surfing competition. Many people will gather right here. During the same time, the owner also invite all guests to grab grapes to make wine. It will be an unforgotten experience. If you would like to go in September, just book as early as you can.

要推薦這間民宿Casa do Rosário給大家，Casa do Rosário位於Ribeira Grande, São Miguel島上。這是一間民宿，老闆從事廣告業，所以把房間裝設的非常有特色。廚房還有完善的設施提供給住房客人使用。而且老闆也很熱心提供旅遊資訊給客人。我是這間民宿第一位華人旅客，老闆還很高興的跟我合照，說要貼在FB上。我真心推薦這間民宿給大家。

在Ribeira Grande每年九月都會舉辦衝浪大賽，這季節剛好也是葡萄產季，老闆會邀請所有房客到他的酒莊裡去採葡萄，製作葡萄酒，將會是一個很難忘的體驗。如果要在這季節投宿，請及早訂房。

110527 Day1 環São Miguel島東側

來到這個亞述群島，建議各位最好租車旅遊，不然就是找個計程車，把他包下來，此地交通不方便，等車可能就耗費你不少時間了，非常的不方便。
此次旅行，依照我的慣例，島上租車，就一定要來環島，所以我去了不少地方，這小島我竟然三天開了400多公里。頭一天只繞了São Miguel的東側。

110527 Day 1 Cozido à Portugêsa in Furnas,在Furnas吃葡式燉肉

The owner of Casa do Rosário told me that I must have a Cozido à Portugêsa,"a boiled meat, sausage and cabbages" in Furnas, São Miguel. Cozido à Portugêsa is a traditional dish in Portugal. But in Furnas, people cook Cozido à Portugêsa with hot spring water. They put the pot into a hole near hot spring in the morning. They pick up until 6 hours. Every ingredient
 is cooked well. Even you are allowed to cook by yourself. Please refer to the following Youtube video. You will have a gourmet without any fire or electricity.
The most famous one is "Restaurante Tony's" where I had a dishes. I suggest making a reservation or coming here earlier to make sure that you have a cozido. We not only have a cozido but a bife which is also popular in Azores. The price is affordable, and not like other tourist restaurant. I strongly recommend it.
After lunch, I went to the Lagoa das Furnas where local people cook cozido. I saw the steam around the hot spring. It seems hot enough to cook.
In Furnas, you can have good gourmet & nice scenery.
民宿老闆推薦，來São Miguel一定要吃的Cozido，所以就開車來Furnas。
Cozido全名是Cozido à Portugêsa，是葡萄牙的傳統料理，把肉類還有蔬菜一起燉煮，之前在里斯本其實我就有吃過。但是在São Miguel的Cozido是利用溫泉來燉煮六個小時。中午吃的Cozido，是早上七點多就放進溫泉加熱的。是非常獨特的料理方式。

110527 Day 1 Ponta Delgada

取車後直接到Ponta Delgada市區閒晃，市區竟然是晴天。當然要趕快拍照，記錄下這海景的城市。

首先逛菜市場,當地特產鳳梨竟然都賣光了,沒拍到

110527 Day1 Go to Azores,出發去亞述群島

In order to take SATA Air, I waked up very early and jumped into TAXI to Lisbon Airport Terminal 2. In the early morning, there were few people in the airport. After checking-in, I started to doze off.
為了趕搭早上七點半的SATA航空，一大早天還沒亮，便跳上計程車前往里斯本機場。因為是國內線，在Terminal 2登機。清晨的二航站，小貓兩三隻，快速check-in拖運行李後，就在機場打瞌睡兼發呆。

空蕩蕩的二航站/It was empty in the Terminal 2.

I havn't imaged that I would be in Azores which is a wonderful place for me.
一個我從來沒想過會造訪的地方，卻意外地有意思。
Não tinha sabia que ficava nas açores que é um lugar marvavilha para mim.
