Come explore Ponta Delgada, the capital city of S\u00e3o Miguel. There is a bus stop on the same block as <\/span>the Manor House<\/span><\/a> where we are staying. Convenient!<\/span><\/p>\n

But it is only convenient if you know how it works. We waited for a half hour at the said bus stop only to see a bus turn down a different street, drop off two older ladies on the corner, come back up the same street about 10 minutes later, and go back from whence it came.<\/span><\/p>\n

Was that our bus?<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

We had no idea. Wouldn\u2019t the bus come back up the street where the actual bus stop was?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

No. We found out from the local workers at the Manor House when we wandered back that we were supposed to stand at the corner and catch the bus, not stand right at the bus stop. Busses no longer stop at the bus stops in Maia. But they used to.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Now we know. And now you know too when you visit the Manor House on the Azores. It was an expensive miss for us because the bus is \u20ac3.94 per person to Ponta Delgada from Maia. <\/span>Why not make it \u20ac4 for simplicity\u2019s sake?<\/span><\/i> A cab ride is \u20ac30 one way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fortunately, for our trip to Ponta Delgada today to pick up our rental car, we knew the trick to catching the bus, which is a sweet bus, by the way. Nice, cushy seats, and 80s music playing for the hour-long ride to town. Bryan Adams\u2019 \u201cHeaven\u201d was a fitting way to start the ride.<\/span><\/p>\n

Striking scenery to gaze at through the windows made the bus ride fly by. Waves of the Atlantic Ocean crash into one side of the island. Vibrant, green hills of trees and grass stretch upwards along the other side in a patchwork quilt. Small towns scatter along the roads all over the island.<\/span><\/p>\n
