Well, I have problems with the internet and accessing my site, lagottocattleya. When I am finally in, I soon get thrown out again. And I am home, not in our summer house where I always have trouble with it. This has continued for a week, and I am struggling. So, finally here are my thoughts:
Bathing on the north coast of Madeira is spectacular. Natural pools and lava – open sea. 15 years ago, they were totally natural, but today there are hundreds of tourists and the pools are modelled after it.
In fact these are now the most famous sea pools in Europe, and a joy to visit. Seen from the road above, Porto Moniz doesn’t look like much…but I can assure you it is well worth an hour or two for a cooling swim.

What a beautiful place Ann-Christine. Thanks for sharing it and persevering through internet problems.
Thank you, Anne – I had to go out several times and breathe. Two hours spent on not being able to connect. It’s been difficult for weeks now. Frustrating.
Sounds like it’s internet vacation time! It only hurts for a couple of days and then you feel FREEDOM!

Thanks for sharing these cooling shots despite the Annoying Internet. Enjoy a break from it rather than get frustrated though!
Thank you, Margaret – but today I spent two hours trying to connect – I had to go out several times to cool down. I would have enjoyed a break if it wasn’t for the commenting I wanted to do. Now I can relax!
Committed, Ann-Christine, that’s you! Now …. just … relax.
Time. It has a habit of changing… still looks like a good place to cool down. Internet can be very annoying sometimes
Changes are inevitable, but sometimes they hurt too much. When we returned to the Azores, too much had changed. Too” touristy”.
Lovely memories, but annoying internet. The best places are always subject to change
True. We humans are hopeless, aren’t we…
That is the fate of many places which I loved. Some are still beautiful
Sad but true. The beatiful ones get fewer every year.
Fabulous

Gorgeous photos, Ann-Christine. Sorry about your internet issues!
Thank you, Jane. It is so frustrating with the internet…today it took me two hours to get in.
Beautiful scenes!
Thank you, Egidio!
