Venice

So.....now that im nightshift i actually have the whole Venice off......my shift was quite hectic....i worked from 11:30pm straight through to 9am.....after that i was finished....but of course i cannot go to sleep straight....so did some emails, skype etc and ended up sleeping at 10, but at 12:30 i decided i dont wanna waste my day so i actually got up, i must admit.....i was tired.....and made my way into Venice......went to Coop, a local supermarket and bought some mozzarella, proscuitto and chocolates..... 

After my little shop, it was time to munch something, was very happy when i got an SMS from my friend, Kim, stating that he could join me....yay....so he said he knew a less touristy area so off we went to a totally different section of Venice which i had not seen before, always nice....the little spot was so cute....little red and white checkered table cloths...check it out....

 

Man....the menu...different story....there were like 40 pizzas to choose from, when we saw the size, about 1.5 times a normal pizza we decided we going to share.....hmmmmm....now what to have....there were a few debates and then we finally settled on a meaty one but with buffalo mozzarella.....here is a pic....

 

It was really good...crispy....cheesy...just the way i like....but...one thing...it could have had a little bit more salami and a little less Frankfurter sausages.....but all in all very good....after that off course who can leave without having ice cream....and yes....you all know which flavour i would def choose....pistachio.....love it......man ice cream in Italy is just so amazing......making u jealous....def hope so.......after that back to the ship and some gym......nightshift started at 11:30... Then i went until 8am.....then off to sleep for 2 hrs.....then it was Dubrovnik....but that ill keep fot my next blog........

Podere il Casale

Image
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...
