Before flying home to SA,mom, Sofia and I decided to have dinner at Zurich airpot...we are not going to discuss the price...cause man...it is so bloody expensive...a glass of prosecco...100ml...Sfr 10.00....that is like R150....i mean rediciulous...and the SFr is almost the same as the € at the moment...but moving on....i had a Bratwurst (sausage) with a crispy Swiss roll and onion sauce and mom had a Cervelat (sausage) and gruyere cheese salad....both of us really enjoyed our meal...i miss Bratwurst as well as Cervelat.....so yummie....let me share some pics with you.....

Enough about food...why caue while we were in Radolfzell we actually did not go out very much..yes, we went for cappuccino and often for cake...well actually Zwtschgenkuchen....but not in the evening...we actually ate dinner at home...al fresco style....mozzarella...cold cuts...brezel...Nuessli- salat....was damn delicious....You might ask yourself...what is Nuessli-salat....that is the Swiss word...German it is Feldsalad....
Next five pics...random...one is the Schwalben birds sitting on the railing by lake Bodensee...waiting for our cake crumbles to fall on the floor so that they have something to eat....
The next one....autumn in Germany...every day we went for strolls...either in the city (car-free) or along the lake...beautiful...and Sofia absoloutely loved it...
Third..our beautiful daughter Sofia enjoying the winter.....our ice princess
Fourth, is the beautiful town of Radolfzell...just those old houses with the wood bulkheads...i love....
Lastly....the grave where my Opa and now Oma also are....the flowers which we organised...Oma chose a red urn and she had also already chosen the colours of the flowers....red and white...it was actually amazing to see how much she had organised before she passed away...

Podere il Casale

Image
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...
