Sailing trip
Just a few photos from our trip:
Naples
Birthday dinner
We went to Castle Terrace for Richards mums birthday dinner last night and had the tasting menu with wine pairings. It was definitely a good choice!
Goat cheese, apricot and pork collar
Salt and cod barbajuan
Cesar salad
Salmon tartare of Shetland served sushi style complete with wasabi ice cream.
Sears hand-dived Orkney scallop served with a light curry sauce (probably my favorite)
A very interesting one:
BBQ and braised shoulder of Ayrshire pork with chickpea
Cod gently poached starved with a brown crab bisque and minestrone of vegetables
I forgot to take a photo of the risotto served with beef.
Finally- mascapone and raspberry cheesecake with carmalised sesame seeds and raspberry sorbet!
Nice visit
We had a lovely visit with Richards grandmother- 92 years old and still going strong!
Dinner
We had a great dinner tonight at Adams Kitchen. While waiting for the taxi we had an amazing view.
Swimming
So I have been taking swimming lessons the last 4 weeks and today was my first day in the big pool. I was a bit intimidated at first, but I easily made it the length of the pool!
Lunch on a bus
We had an amazing lunch on a bus today while touring around Paris. The food, views and company were all great!
Friday in Paris
We took off Friday morning to Versailles. It was a nice walk down to the RER and then 30 minutes to get out there.
We just took a walk in the gardens and didn’t go inside as the line was massive! I can’t believe that people would stand in it!
Here are some photos from our morning walk.
After the gardens we went for some lunch at a little pub we found. The food and beer were really good. I am still not really sure what I had, but it was lovely.
Todays wonder around Paris
We took a walk along the river this morning to get to the botanical gardens. It was a lovely walk- quiet and peaceful. We made a stop for lunch at a seafood place. It was a really cute place and the food was lovely.
From there we went to the botanical gardens and were a bit disappointed to see so little in bloom the spring. But it was a nice park in the middle of the city.
