"A Hard Day's Night" of Travel!

#ToscaPizzeria#Toulouse#AmsterdamAirport#Tiramisu

We arrived safely and on schedule after a "Hard Day's Night" of travelling.

Our first stop Amsterdam Airport for a two hour layover...


The view over Toulouse as we approached the runway ...

                    
We quickly collected our luggage (yes, thankfully it arrived) picked up our rental car and headed to our usual airport hotel.

Looking for a light supper we headed out only to discover a new Italian Pizzeria, where we enjoyed a great tasting pizza, a good Chianti (minus the fava beans) and the most delicious tiramisu we have ever tasted.

La Tosca Pizzeria was tastefully decorated and had a warm ambiance. 

We liked it so much we are already talking about returning on our last night in Toulouse before our flight home.

Perfect thin crust ... Tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella, olive oil and fresh basil which we watched the owner hand pick from the herb garden.

Tiramisu made by the owner's Italian wife ... Instead of the usual lady fingers/sponge cake she uses Speculoos cookies (a Belgian spice biscuit).



The following morning after a good night's sleep we headed to Spain ...

stay tuned for some Spanish Postcards!
