Sunday started out cold (30ºC / 90ºF) and wet so we decided to walk up to the new chocolate bar for a hot chocolate and coffee. Laurent Bernard opened its jungle outlet a few months ago and offers a dozen different hot chocolates as well as coffees, teas, champagne and a selection of freshly baked cakes and crumbles. I played safe and opted for the classic hot chocolate. I've had some chocolaty hot chocolates in Paris but this was like melting a bar of dark chocolate and pouring it down your throat. Death by chocolate. I just about finished my pot then ran next door to Colbar for a bottle of Tiger beer to wash it down. I have such a refined palate. My boorish behaviour was confirmed later when Sandy found what she suspected was bird poo on Olive's hair ... we later deduced I must have sneezed all over my daughter's head! (Revenge for all that dribble on my shoulder, if you ask me.)
