  • Hi Guys,
    Happy to be hanging out with you on this beautiful summer like February day.
    The main reason I chose to do this particular video was to show you how amazing it is to visit the Azores in the winter months.
    I wanted you to experience this day with me, hanging out on Pico Island. We will be visiting the coast, the highlands, one of the lakes, historic whaling village of Lajes and the town of Sao Roque.
    I also had a picnic with 3 cows in an amazing spot, surrounded by raw nature and pure scenic landscape.
    We hope you enjoyed spending time with me on this February day in the Azores.
    Love having you with us on our journey
    Carlos & Laura
    xoxo

Your videos keep reminding us there is so much more left for us to experience. We will definitely be visiting again as soon as we can.

    19 degrees Celsius, fresh oranges in February, and Amazon Prime delivery. That's what heaven looks like (at least if you don't start a home renovation). 🙂 - All kidding aside, this is one of my favorite videos so far. I would love to live there in retirement. The only question is: Where to hide from the tourists in July, August, and September?

    • @ourjourneyonpicoisland-car552
      @ourjourneyonpicoisland-car552  Рік тому

      We enjoy the island time of year. I can only speak about Pico, but the busiest areas will be restaurants, car rentals, tourist facilities etc. Because Pico is a good size island, most locals just stick to themselves, go out to restaurants less etc. You will see more tourists, but Pico and other smaller islands is still way less than the big island of Sao Miguel. Just my 2 cents. Take care!

      @ourjourneyonpicoisland-car552  Рік тому

    Hi Carlos and Laura, I stumbled across your videos and they have been so great to watch. We are coming to the Azores in July and I was wondering what company you would recommend for a rental car? I have heard Azores Easy Rentals is good but wasn't sure if we should just go with a company at the airport (Sao Miguel)? Thanks for any help you can provide. Cheers!

    • @ourjourneyonpicoisland-car552
      @ourjourneyonpicoisland-car552  Рік тому +1

      Br8ng a few layers of clothing, you will probably wear all of it. There will be nice sunny days around 16, but also some colder damp days as well. I have worn shorts in February, maybe bring a pair. Cheers

    Não acha que promover a Ilha por intermedio deste canal, e ofereçer workshops a estrangeiros, será o melhor futuro para a Ilha? Como deve saber, existem consequencias. Hoje é ainda o paraíso a que lhe chama. Será esse mesmo paraíso no futuro quando tiver 68 ou 78? Será no futuro além do nosso prazo de vida? A beleza de um lugar é como assim o encontrou, as belas paisagens, com as pessoas locais! Partes do Algarve são o exemplo do que pode vir a acontecer. Seria o melhor para os Açores?

    • @ourjourneyonpicoisland-car552
      @ourjourneyonpicoisland-car552  Рік тому

      Entendo e agradeço seu comentário. Na nossa opinião este paraíso continuará a ser um paraíso, a mãe natureza não construiu estas ilhas para o turismo de massa. O Algarve e a maioria destes locais são animais diferentes, não podemos comparar.
      Haverá algumas pessoas querendo morar ou se mudar para cá, devemos acolhê-las. Os meus pais portugueses criaram para ajudar e partilhar com todos, incluindo pessoas que não conhecemos. Estas oficinas destinam-se a fazer exatamente isso, ajudá-los e ensiná-los. Desta forma, eles podem tomar uma decisão adequada. Vai correr tudo bem, estas novas pessoas vão ajudar os Açores a crescer bem, esta é a nossa opinião. Obrigado, e toda a saúde para você.
