Well I'm glad to say that I arrived safe in Paris last night without any problems and I am nicely settling into my apartment which is absolutely lovely and even has a view of the eiffel tower (can you spot it?)!

I have spent most of today wondering around, trying to find some of the many patisseries I intend to visit, but actually getting quite lost!

A couple of hours after leaving the apartment this morning, I finally found Angelina, a very upmarket tearoom with a belle epoque interior.


Angelina is particularly known for its 'le Chocolat Africain'- 7 euros 20 cents of pure thick hot chocolate with 'creme chantilly' on the side.

The chocolate is served in a jug, for you to pour into your cup as you please. I must say the portion size is certainly enough for two and I was actually wondering whether I would manage it all (or maybe not...)!
