So...before i chat about Naples...lets chat about Spinnaker...a group of us went to Spinnaker, as my friend from the restaurant, Andrea was leaving for vacation....an excuse to go to Spinnaker....Prosecco....good music....and yes...Some dancing....was a fun night and time seemed to run away....here some pics

Next day was Naples....and kim said that he would like to choose the Pizza place...now there was a lot at stake...the last two pizzas have been quite a disaster..civvi and naples (even the ship ones were better...and those have thick base...so its telling a lot....)....well we walked to our favourite street, via Tribunali, and found the spot...Pizza Vera....we went to the upper section....we both decided to independantly look at the menu and see whether we would come up with the same...wierd enough..out of 30 pizzas we both came up with the same...buffalo mozzarella, tomato base, ham, and egg....and man...we waited sooooo long for it...was unbelievable...and hmmmm....def def NOT worth the wait...hmmm..how can we go wrong three times in a row...hmmmm...deal...next time i choose the pizza place...man.....after that....i chose a spot for some coffee...and cappucchino foam was amazing...we even got a piece of black choc with it...the coffee was a litte luke warm...when it is supposed to be hot...so half successful...we have started to improve....here is a pic (and no, i dont have a pic of the pizza...it doesnt deserve a pic...)

Then...heading back to the ship...time was running out....but of course...had to buy some buffalo mozzarella ....divine....and we stopped at some shop where we bought some cherry struddle..so damn good...so moist not dry at all...here a pic of the mozzarella and struddle...they deserve to have a spot in this blog...

And if we didnt have enough sweets yet.....we of course wanted a pistaccio magnum...but they didnt have...damn...but we did see another one which we never had before....so many more choices than back home in south africa....a sandwich magnum...and man....the sandwich part...not the part with hard choc....wow...amazing....you know what would be excellent....a pistaccio sandwich magnum....damn.....im drooling...and yes...i do have a pic of the magnum....

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...
