    Walking around the crater at Horta. Swimming at the waterfall. Finding the Eye of the Wind in Horta harbour and going onboard, a brigantine that I sailed on from Plymouth to South America with King Charles in 1978 on Operation Drake

    With so much wet weather and missing great views and attractions in terms of actually being able to see them, there were no "wonderful" or "once in a lifetime" experiences. Visibility on occasions was zero and the bad weather took away the enjoyment or the potential to see great places.
