Furnas, a great way to spend a day in the Azores!

Brent visits the thermal baths of Furnas, Portugal for a warm dip. Then, he tries the famous local bread and checks out the boiling and steamy Caldeiras. And then, it’s time for dinner at a restaurant where the food is cooked underground in the craters heated using natural geothermal heat!
