Furnas was our next big day trip. Another public bus, another random charge (3.41 per person), another ride through the villages up into Furnas. We first walked around town and found the thermal vents that reek of sulfur and are used to cook a local dish of meat and vegetables. The idea of meat virtually boiled for several hours in sulfuric water did not sound appealing (described as an acquired taste), so we did a much milder lunch.
We wandered the Terra Nostra gardens for a couple of hours, admiring the collections so painstakingly cultivated from all over the world. Then it was back to the thermal baths that Furnas is so famous for.
