Part 2

So....wots left...mykonos and katakolon and one dinner with my friends at Papas....then time for sign off....

Mykonos is an island well known for its beaches...lots of gay beaches....and its also hell of a pretty just to walk around...oh yes, almost forgot...also know for its nightlife, but we do not do any overnights there, so i wouldnt know....so....today i played tourist guide for Maria and Lucia....Lucia had been there before but not all the spots and Maria, never....so needed to show her the top attractions....

-Famous white church

-Peter, the pelican

-Little Venice

-Windmills

And yes...in short time we managed...of course there are other attractiosn

-Paradise beAch

-Delos island

-Greek food

But...one thing at a time...hahaha...first thing...Peter, the pelican. He is kind of a legend at Mykonos...if you go there you have to visit him, right on the seafront and ask anyone for him and they will guide you, near Nicos taverna...and yes...of course i have a pic

Afte that...time for the little white church....i have seen it so often..but it really is beautiful...this church you can spot walking along the waterfront promenade (sea on the right), towards little Venice...right in the bend...cannnot miss it and it makes for amazing pics....

Then strolling through the narrow paths, buying some Oozo (local Greek spirit...not my taste...but like i mentioned...part of my souvenirs now).....towards little Venice...again...if we would have had time...would be nice to eat a lunch at one of the tavernas overlooking the sea, takingin the sea breeze...just enjoying...but this time...time was not on our side....so some pics....

Afte that time for the windmills....amazing again...i have seen them before but love them everytime....

So as mentioned thise are the highlights...food wise...def the tapas...the aubergine puree, tzatziki, hummous, eggplant ragout, stuffed vineleaves, halloumi, octopus salad, grilled or fried calamari...cannot go wrong...but some pics will come when i go there next contract....haha

So after Mykonos there was Katakolon....where kim and i had our first dat...so back we went to the place of our first date and food amazing...grilled octopus, fried cheese, Greek salad and deep fried sardines and nor to forget divine fresh, crispy bread with home-made olive oil....just so wow....

So that was almost all of the last cruise...one final dinner at Papas with my friends....close friends who didnt have to work with of course some bubbly that kim organised for us.....i has carpaccio...then risotto and prawns and dessert, the divine tiramisu...and as mentioned it is fab....

So...a fab last week...so goodnite.....almost home time...just a few hours and back innthe SA winter....

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
