North Coast 500 – Culinary highlights

So just after the Easter weekend, myself and my husband headed to Bristol airport ready to catch a flight to Inverness. Our aim – to complete the North Coast 500 route in Scotland, a circular route around the Highland coast with stunning scenery. We opted to travel anti-clockwise as we had read that the most stunning scenery was to be enjoyed on the West coast so wanted to save the best for last.

Berlin

Hello to everyone who has taken a look at the blog. I’m not sure where you’ve all come from but thank you – I hope you like what you see!

Apologies for it all going a little quiet on the blog front…I spent last weekend in Berlin with Mr Birdie (a.k.a. my husband Rob). Berlin was great, if not a little wet. It is a fantastic city and I would definitely recommend visiting and taking in some of the sights. We spent a lot of time eating and drinking coffee. A highlight for me was indulging in cheesecake for breakfast at Princess Cheesecake (http://www.princess-cheesecake.de/) a cafe dedicated entirely to cheesecake! We also tried a burger cooked in a former toilet (http://www.burger-meister.de/) an interesting experience! Below are some foodie shots captured on my phone (apologies for the quality of the photos – we took Mr Birdie’s SLR camera with us but sadly forgot the battery – oops!)

I am in the process of baking this weekend so promise a new recipe post tomorrow
