Ok, yes, I think one has to go with the gut feeling in this case. I would not either, possibly. I never swam in that lake in my corner, It is supposedly very clean, upkept, my kid swam, was fine, but I do not feel at ease with the water sitting there for so many years...it is an artificial lake, I prefer the seaside...but I love it for other activities...what would be THE best beach ever to you? Anywhere...
How extraordinary! Thanks! I must take note and plan to visit ...and where do you live at present?
That is so kind of you, thank you!! Benissimo!! Let us keep in touch. Lovely, I hope you have good memories of Zagreb
...I love travel. I do feel a little tired but I hope summer will bring less Covid and more ease of travel and life...I would really like to travel very leggiero, minimal stress, good beds, good food, not long hours of traffic, nice nature and nice friends to socialize
Oh yes! You are so right! Sorry. You help me get around the site better, thanks! Never been to the UK yet. I had an acquaintance from Bristol, I still have the beautiful ceramic baking tray he gave me...Kent is a complete unknown territory to me, but will Google. I am curious!
The one in Florida where I grew up scuba diving, snorkeling, fishing, water skiing, etc. I have been to many beaches in my life in Mexico, California, several states on the Atlantic Ocean side of the US, and in Canada. I have also visited all 5 of the Great Lakes.
That looks absolutely gorgeous. The intensity of the blue sky, the wawes...oh...beautiful. While train commuting I googled Kent...wonderful region! But it will take more time to get deeper and remember some facts and castles and places... I picked up an immediate favourite though...Sissinghurst Castle Garden...

Sometimes people don't realize how wonderful they have it and take the natural beauty around them for granted. If I had to give another beach a close rating to Destin, Florida where I lived and was raised for most of my life, I would say that Cozumel, Mexico and Cancun, Mexico are the best. But not quite as good as the beach where I lived.
But I have never been to Europe or Asia, and I hear that the beaches there are fabulous in some areas! I have heard that Italy has beaches that are spectacular, also that Croatia has some very nice beaches. Also I hear great things about Costa Rica and the US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, and the Turks and Caicos, and many others I have never had the privilege to visit. After COVID-19 is under control I would like to travel again. I am afraid if I go to Italy I would never leave, though. I would probably eat my way through the country and be in a food coma so I would miss my flight
My nephew and his wife are being transferred from Dubai to Vietnam (his wife is a German diplomat, he is an American "house husband"). I hear both Thailand and Vietnam have some lovely beaches, so maybe I will get a chance to visit them at their next post.
Edited to add that Morning Glory just posted a lovely photo of the beach near where she lives. So many beaches, so little time, sigh.
Oh that sounds awesome, what an active childhood! I will note the Florida beach you grew up on...thanks for sharing, I live the personal touch to it. It meant and means a lot to you. I mean for sure, there are many exqusit beaches all over the world...I have heard of Cancun and Puerto Rico being praised highly...The one in Florida where I grew up scuba diving, snorkeling, fishing, water skiing, etc. I have been to many beaches in my life in Mexico, California, several states on the Atlantic Ocean side of the US, and in Canada.

...that is the funniest compliment to the mastery of Italian cooking I have ever heard!
