I'm very impressed by your Mediterranean sea swim. Even if I did know how to swim I wouldn't be brave enough to swim in that large a body of water. Bravo! I've so enjoyed reading about and seeing the photos from your trip. The food, the sights, the accommodations, were all wonderful.Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11053430482502520385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868048249049410936.post-33694455402813606792022-05-29T18:04:18.226+01:002022-05-29T18:04:18.226+01:00Thanks, Lulu!

I can't recommend it enough, loads to see and do, immaculate beaches, great food, friendly locals, incredible architecture and bags of personality.<br />I love Mediterranean food, its all about freshness and quality, isn't it? Despite the amount of food I consumed, I came back 1lb lighter!<br />Its funny, like you I've always been scared of deep water and swimming out of my depth plus I hate getting my face wet but all of a sudden it doesn't bother me any more. I bought a pair of googles on Monday and jumped into the deep end of the pool today - I've never done it before and loved it! xxxVixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05263970600699632661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868048249049410936.post-65948559030091652262022-05-27T16:47:24.398+01:002022-05-27T16:47:24.398+01:00Oh Tony - what are you like?

You were very brave to swim out in the sea - I don't like being unable to touch the bottom! and am scared of currents, what a shame the men weren't paying attention!
