Choccies

Well We DID manage to locate a map at the closed information booth and we DID manage to find Artisen Square and a nice restaurant with great views to go to for a preliminary birthday lunch for Ashley, but found it was only open for dinner. Oh well, after much searching, we DID manage to find the chocolatier and managed to escape the shop spending only $10 on the glorious delights (although the chocolates didn't manage to escape the island before we had eaten them all). A pokey little chocolate cafe, selling a interesting and varied number of hot chocolate drinks and fine, handmade belgian and french style chocolates. MMMMM! The raspberry ones were my favourites. The dark diamond one central in this picture was a dark bitter sweet chocoate with tiny pieces of dried raspberry strap throughout, it was delicious! I also selected a dark heart shaped raspberry truffle, nice but the other was better. Ashley selected a caramel swirl and a mint one, while Alex and Olivia had a solid white and milk chocolate each, in the shape of monkeys and bears - highly recommended chocolate, but I question the inside space for a cafe - you could barely swing a cat in there, which kinda kills the almosphere.
Artisen Square was also home to a number of galleries, art studios and knick knack shops.
