I'm trying to decide if I could only visit one of those spots, which one I'd choose. Perhaps, Puyricard...or...Antica Dolceria Bonajuto...or.... ;-)<br /><br />I remember going to Brussels for lunch once (as you do when you're staying in London -- and lunch consisted of standing on the footpath eating waffles from a street vendor). Before we boarded the Channel Tunnel train back to London, we ducked into a little Belgium chocolate shop and bought these dark chocolate orange sticks to munch on the way home -- they were rich and luscious and utterly divine.<br /><br />P.S. Your book sounds luscious and utterly divine too!Michelle Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07748538761711892080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-44959114182921414032015-07-30T08:06:07.754+10:002015-07-30T08:06:07.754+10:00Hi, Josephine, well I just read your post and its ...Hi, Josephine, well I just read your post and its early in the morning.

What a great goal to aspire to. <br />I can't imagine anything better than travelling the globe and sampling chocolate the world over, unless you do it with someone special and a great pile of books to be read (thank God for my kindle!)<br /><br />All the best with your new release!<br /><br />MichelleMichelle Somershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12456587199949658362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-69748682852319850722015-07-29T11:48:25.190+10:002015-07-29T11:48:25.190+10:00Well done, Barbara.

I wouldn't mind visiting a few of the restaurants known for their chocolate desserts, either.<br /><br />And I'd love to come to Melbourne for that walking tour.<br /><br />Thanks for the yummy post!<br />Barbara White Daillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07493545252673453037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-27509720892284544272015-07-29T08:50:16.785+10:002015-07-29T08:50:16.785+10:00Oh yum.
