Terceira is a small but exceptionally beautiful island. Lots of great restaurants, museums, and other attractions. The countryside is gorgeous and the waves pounding on the rocks all along the coast are amazing. Getting around by car is quite easy. Our favourite towns were Angra and Praia de Vitorio.

New Zealand car hire
Used Discover Cars for car hire in the south island of New Zealand. Collected our Kia Nero from Picton ferry terminal and dropped off at Christchurch Airport 2 weeks later. A really good hassle free experience. Thrifty staff were excellent, the car was the model ordered, in good condition and the cost as promised with no hidden extras. Happy days 🙂
