Make no mistake, this is a cruise. You establish yourself in your single 1 or double stateroom and live there. You have most of your meals in the train's diner, a few in good resort hotels, and you enjoy just about every luxury that the cruise planners can dream up to pamper you. Through a public address system, you are wakened in the morning by a hostess who announces in Swedish and in English what the day's calendar will be. You take your Bath in the Shower car and meet your cruise mates at breakfast, rolling all the while through Sweden's white-birch blue -lake and blue-lake scenery.
Of special Sao Miguel sights, three gorgeous viewpoints are: (1) Pica de Ferro above Furnas; (2) Miradouro Santa Iria; and (3) Miradouro Castelo Branco but the climactic view, best of them all, is certainly that from the hills above Lake Sete Cidades (Lake of Seven Cities). Part of that lake is a pellucid blue and part an equally clear green. The Furnas Valley (with a medicinal spa, a summer casino and a luxury hotel in a very big and beautiful garden where you may see some blue water lilies that were transported from Zanzibar) is the most remarkable sight of Sao Miguel. |
