IT was a quiet Friday evening and Inchydoney beach was glowing in the sunset and I tried the new restaurant in town, the Adrift @ Dunmore House Hotel in Clonakilty.
The view over the beach is stunning, big wide windows afford great views as you to sit in the lobby, enjoying a drink before waiting to be seated for dinner at one of the stylishly decorated tables.
One of the last few stops in this series brings me this time to the free and Hanseatic city of Hamburg, which is the second largest city in Germany.
Since I am native Austrian travelling to Germany is like visiting a cousin.
The language is a bit different, but with some discipline they understand me well and I have no trouble finding my way around in the city.
London is the latest stop on Christian's culinary tour.
Second Stop on my food tour through Europe is London.
Unless you are a sports fan you should rather avoid going to London in July/August this year with the Olympics the city on the Thames is even busier and hotel prices go through the roof.
Other than that, London is a great place to visit all year round.

SKIBBEREEN gardaí want to talk to a number of people in connection with a major drug operation that was uncovered in the town yesterday (Wednesday), lunch time.
A fire, believed to be due to an electrical fault with a heater used to aid the growth of cannabis plants broke out in a first-floor front room in the building sometime after midday.
Fire crews from Skibbereen and Schull were called to attend at 12.30pm.
On entering the building using breathing apparatus they discovered what looked like a major cannabis growing operation on the first and second floors at the property.

ON Saturday night at around nine o’clock I started to get hungry.
I had already had a pint in town and decided to eat out, something quick but tasty.
With the clear goal to discover something new I walked down Pearse Street, and passed by several spots I had tried before.
At the start of the Western Road I found what I was looking for, the Fastnet Catch take away and restaurant.
