Haifa overnight

So...in actual fact i was a little bit confused when i posted the last blog...after Alanya and Limassol...it was in fact Haifa overnight...oops....so....during the day not much of a chance to go out...however...our plans were to go out during the day but rather at night and have some good dinner....we wanted to go back to the place we were the very first time we came to Haifa....on the main street where you can see the Garden and eat amazing haloumi salad and dips...and that is exactly what we did...i finished work and off we went....and yes...the salad was as amazing as we remembered....and like last time...so much haloumi...really not stingy at all....here some pics...

After our dinner...we realised we have a few Shekels (Israeli currency) left....so....what to do....i think we all know the answer....ice cream....we could get two scoops...and you know what...they were worth it...we had cookies.....and it was Oreo cookies...so damn yummie....back on the ship it was crew party and us, the guest services, we were hosting it...so we all got duty for 45min to serve drinks.....it was outside on the tenniscourt...so at the beginning a little chilli...but then it started filling up and it actually got warm...let me share some pics with u.....all people from our team....

A good night out...turned out to be fun.....and so...the next day Haifa....was sleeping cause i only got a few hrs....why....my shift started at 5am....and yes....you guessed right....didnt quite go to bed at 10.....but in all honesty...i dont feel i missed anything...the plan in Haifa was to go out...eat our haloumi...other than that....nothing we both really wanted to do.....so a successful overnight.....and now just some sea days left and cruise is finito again...time is just flying...oh.....and of course we still have our dinner which we do every cruise...and this time it was Le Bistro....and i was craving the Pork fillets while kim was craving the coq au vin....so Bistro was the good choice...and of course ill never say no to scallops and cheese platter....yummie....and yes...ill add some pics...just in case you have forgotten what this amazing food looks like....

As you can see....i asked for just brie and camembert....not in the mood to have the others....and how amazing they present it...really wow...so next cruise is the last 10 day cruise...after that Repo and then the summer run..which consists of two different alternating cruises..each being a week.....cheers from me.....

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
