Home.....

Well....home was literally 2 days...then off towards my sister's wedding in the Boracay....how exciting.....but we not there quite yet....so on Monday morning we took the Harley for a ride....so cool...tons of fun....my hair was blowing in the wind....i had such a good time....and yes...Tuesday allowed for some more driving...let me share a pic....

 
 

And then one night we went to see the show currently showing at Montecasino, Jersey Boys....my expectations were quite high cause i heard it has just been extended, also reviews were very good and i read that they are signing songs like "Big girls dont cry", ........ Etc.....before the show we went to the Ialian restaurant called La Scala. Let me tell you a little about it, the owner opened it in 2002, when Montecasino was first opened, and to this day he still is present at the restaurant, i find that so amazing and honestly it makes a big difference. He still knows my parents and at the end of the meal we were all allowed to choose either a Grappa or a Limoncello on the house (i went with Grappa), small things like that i really appreciate. The food as always fab....the main reason for not going there more often is that it is inside Montecasino, a casino atmosphere and honestly, not my best....pity....so what did i have....i had the Carprese salad and then the ostrich carpaccio, one of the specials....Kim decided on Greek salad (hmmm....not sure why...we are at an Italian restaurant...but anyway) and then the seafood soup.....we all loved the food...also pasta which my dad had tasted great...so yes...definitely a place worth checking out...and of course ill share some pics...

Let me also give you the link to the La Scala restaurant.....

Now to the show...it lasted 2.5 hrs (with interval) and i was disappointed, i expected more, it was not bad, but definitely not WOW...not like Phantom of the Opera....a fun night out.....but.....a little disappointed...a lot of unknown songs and i cant put my finger on it...just not WOW. If you wanna check it out though you can book at computicket....

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
