Ponta Delgado, Azores

Any ideas for people who prefer independent excursions rather than
ship-sponsored tours for this port?

My one time there (the day before 9-11) it was raining really hard. I
walked into town, which was a really nice place to shop, eat, and sip
java in a cafe. The town was filled with young folks from all over
Europe, and I struck up quite a few cool conversations. I remember that
prices (of food & drink) at the time seemed very reasonable by European
standards.

Make sure you pick up some Azorean wine....I wish I bought more than one
bottle. It was a white wine (couldn't tell you the name) but it was
quite good, and cheap! There is a store downtown somewhere in a small
"mall" that sells all sorts of local products. Any reasonable guide to
the Azores should mention it I would think. I remember seeing something
on it before we left on the cruise and we made a point of going to that
store...well worth the trip.
