Day 1
29/06/2026
Arrive and exhale in Azores — Coastal road picnic

Focus: Arrival & settle Day notes: Keep today light: hydrate, a short orientation walk, and an early night. Aim to reach the stay before dark; pick up essentials nearby (water/snacks). Anchor: Azores. Keep the pace gentle—one good moment beats ten rushed ones. Trip notes: If something feels rushed, we’ll skip it. The goal is to come back rested, not exhausted. Keeping this plan intentionally unhurried—one meaningful highlight per day and plenty of buffer.
