So....now to the boat trip...day started sunshine, blue sky....we drove to the neighbouring island called lapu-lapu where we went onto a boat...looked so cool....here is a pic

Then we waited for the spit pig...it was already barbequed because it would take too long on the boat...however....on the boat they gonna do a barbeque, i wanna call it braai but because im in cenu ill allow calling it a barbeque...for once, with squid, pork and chicken....so we left with the boat and it took about 1.5 hrs until we arrived at the sandbank in the middle of the ocean, literally....here is a pic when it was still high tide....and second pic is whEn tide was low.......amazing....

As we arrived, time to eat some pig....the crackling (skin) was so good...everyones fingers ripped pieces of the pig....i surprised myself by liking the skin and i even tried the ear...excellent, wow...did i just say that.....then some swimming, and then time for barbequed squid, pork kebabs and chicken kebabs served with rice and for dessert fresh mango, pineapple and bananas...wow....wot a feast...then more swimming, walking and of course drinking bubbly....or beer...or wine...and yes...of course i had bubbly...had some french one called fat bastard...very light...nice....the best for me..barbequed squid...the crackling and the pork kebabs....but i loved the ones that were burnt...so good....yummy...i think all of us ate way too much....unfortunately time to leave came way too soon....but it was neccessary cause it looked like heavy rain was coming.....in the end...thank god we left...heavy heavy rain came, and this is what the locals said...not just me....at home time to rest and finish the day with eating mudpie ice cream.....excellento....Here some pics from the day....Ps we ate in the water on the sandbank, they put the table there for us....so cool.....

Today...last day in cebu...slept long...lazy morning...and lunch was with sandros aunt and uncle at some place where you grilled your own meat on charcoal....was so cool....funny...i didnt really like the wagu beef, prefered the normal beef...but the grilled garlic cloves...wow....could have eaten millions of those...im sure i smell of garlic...oh well....always good if people around you also love garlic...otherwise...shit.....i guess i like garlic with everything, i was taught putting chopped garlic in olive oil over steak...and man...so good....ok....im getting hungry again....here some pics from lunch

So....cheers for now.....tomorrow ill be in Hong Kong....so then more from there....i guess it will be about food, food and food..And some bars with views....now im off.....Oh...almost forgot...after lunch sandro and fabienne went home and mom and i needed coffee desperately, so we went to a mall...on way home we got stuck for long....floods....couldnt get back to house....damn.....check out the pic below.....we had to wait for long until rain stopped and water slowly went a little down...but we did end up driving through it......hmmmm...oh well...i guess you know everything is ok cause we are sitting at the airport in cebu about to leave for hong kong....

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
