I think the French make better bread.
(Usually prudent to agree with the Ghost).
But Italy has better grain and...the key... thousand year old strains of yeast called the "biga".
Allora...pane delizioso!! ๐๐

Cuba's Canarreos Archipelago has over 300 islands.
Where did you find the time?
Originally posted by @wolfgang59I tried to snorkel to the bottom of Fresh Creek in the Bahamas where I worked and lived on Andros Island, working at AUTEC. Lots of junk on the bottom and the water was clear as glass, old motors, bicycles, lots of junk, thought I could get down to all that stuff but no luck. I dove down as far as I could go and head almost getting squished had to go back up, gave up that bit๐ I do remember the smell of the dock on the AUTEC side of Fresh Creek though, I lived in Cokeley Town and worked on AUTEC. Now there is a bridge but back in the day you had to bribe 'Premier' a fifth of rum to take you across Fresh Creek in his little boat unless you got free ride at 5 AM and 5 PM, totally filled with natives. I should say overfilled๐
My ex did all her BSAC training in minimum visibility; gravel pits and muddy estuaries.
Never did see the attraction!
I enjoyed some easy snorkelling in Med but never went deeper than 2m. !!
