Random

So this is a short blog.... Just some random info...

Just got my new schedule and it sucks.... My shift is so bad that almost at no port i can get out, so please hold thumbs that when i get the new schedule on the 28th, it is better.... One positive which im really hanging onto though.... In dubrovnik, croatia, declated an UNESCO world heritage site, im only on at 2pm so one of the girls and i r gonna do a bicycle tour, and for us its free.... Yay... That i cannot wait for.... Something to get me through next roster

Two more interesting things, yesterday i had russian chocolate for the first time, was actually good, better than belgium choc and a difficult german guest, who i helped, brought me a card and swiss choc, BONUS

Last nite a couple of us went to the guest club/ bar to have a cocktail and dance, that was fun too.... So i guess i should not be complaining.... And of course there was finally sushi trying.....and it was great.... For the first time i tried edame beans... Interesting and honestly i dont know what all the fuss is about... Then we had 3 different roles, the one i had was california with eel and yellowtail... Wow.... And we also had a shrimp tempura and one with prawn, mango and sweet, crispy cashew nuts on top.... Yummy def going back there..... Next cruise we gonna try papas, the italian.....

And now finally here are some photos, edame bens and sushi, uniform, the Jade and staff mess......

Podere il Casale

Beautiful place near Monticchiello in the Southern Tuscany. My parents, together with Mutti and Sofia went there whilst Kim and I were in Corsica. They raved about it, stating that it was Swiss owned and they met the couple who owns and runs it. They are actively involved and so are their children. Their food is produced on the farm, they are famous for their Pecorino cheese. They also offer Pizza and bread courses, camping etc etc....in fact i was really looking forward to visiting this place. They have outdoor and indoor seating but i must say the outdoor seating cannot be compared to the indoor hall. The outside is quaint, picturesque and has breath-taking views. There is quite a long dirt road following up to Podere il Casale....its not so easily found. The sign at the entrance is also not too good. Once we parked a beautiful sign welcomed us....let me share a pic... Podere il Casale As mentioned the place was quaint and picturesque with beautiful laid tables....and a fabulous vi...
