choc heaven

continuing adventures with Shirl - we went to Robina - which is a fab shopping centre - and will be even more fab when myer opens next year. They also have a Max Brenner chocolate shop there which obviously serves chocolate - nothing else. Shirl and I started the day with a Babka with chocolate dipping sauce ( we shared) and also a Mexican Spicy Chocolate drink which they serve in 'hug mugs'. It was all delicious. WE did however go back in the afternoon for some afternoon tea and did ourselves in with an Italian Hot Chocolate -which was very thick and well it did us in - neither of us could finish it. It is all YUM - and if you are ever in the area you should go - we have been to the one in NYC - we had to wait 40 minutes one night at about 10.30 - seriously - luckily there was a shoe shop just next door that we could fill the time in with...

the other cool thing about Robina is the parking...

there is a light above the park that is green if it is empty and then changes to red when you are in the park...isn't that a great idea? I know I have been caught a thousand times - you think there is a car park ...you get there and then...grrrr motor bike...or pocket sized car. With the lights there is no need to - they also have a sign at the end of each lane saying how many parks are available in that lane. How very new millennium.
