Corfu and Sushi

So first sea day not much happened....i must tell you about breakfast though....so my mom got VIP a second week...she was so happy cause she loves the breakfast in the VIP area....so seeing that i am afternoon shift...and almost every night im ending at 1am...i managed to at least go for breakfast wth my mom 5 out of 7 days...and yes i know this cause im still behind in the blog (im nite shift at the moment, so i will do mybest to catch up...im just slow cause of the internet...problems....).... Anyways...back to the topic....so VIP breakfastis in the steakhouse and there is an a la carte hot menu and a cold buffet....man....im in heaven....smoked salmon, proscuitto and NEVER to forget BRIE cheese and lots of butter...so yes I loved my breakfast...especially the BRIE with butter...... 

Now lets talk about CORFU.....i started work at 12, so i said to my mom, lets go out at 8 sharp and we can roam around and have breakfast outside....wot a good idea....man...who would have thought this....my mom, 8 sharp on the gangway and i was late...now that does not happen often, and of course she couldnt help herself to comment.....hmmmmmm.....the we decided to stroll to the old town....the walk along the beach i had done with Dina but i have never been to the old town.....i like these Greek ports....so we strolled around....mom bought a really nice handbag and i bought some olive oil! Then it was time for some good breakfast.....and what else to have but Baklava.....man it is so sweet....so it had to be eaten with a croissant and a strong macchiato....which was really good....we chatted for long and actually didnt realise how timr was flying....love spending some quality time just with mom......so here are some pics of when we went out and of course also from our breakfast..i mean my blog would not be complete without food pics, right? Smetimes i actually wonder what people think when they see me taking pics....butyou know what...who actually cares....so here they are.....

 
 
Now sushi....once with my mom...once with a friend....gonna post from both nites cause i think we ate very different things....once more. The roles and once more sashimi.....i love the sushi on the shop...can never go wrong with it....and also tried this thing...some seaweed salad or something..not wuite sure...when you see. The pic below....it looks quite vile but trust me..it was very good...the dressing was sesame oil and sesame seeds....man talking about it makes me hungry again......

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...
