We woke up to an unexpectedly sunny day so we decided to go up to Sete Cidades where there is a double lake inside a crater. One green and the other blue. There is also an abandoned hotel that I wanted to get inside.

Read the story of the Monte Palace Hotel here. It was a luxurious hotel that was only open for 18 months before going bankrupt.

We spent time on the beach today exploring tide pools and climbing the lava flows. We came across a lot of Portuguese Man o Wars on the beach and found a good amount of seaglass.
