Anvers - Latrobe, Tasmania



Often if we're bored or the weather is reasonable and we need to escape the normal beat of the drum that is life, we hop in the car and drive approximately 50 minutes away to a town called Latrobe: home of the Axeman's Hall of Fame and Anvers Chocolates. mmmmm...Anvers. It's a place that is best visited in the cooler months of the year as they have the fires burning and the hot chocolate pouring. We indulged in our usual fare: Chilli hot chocolate in a large mug for DH and I always keep it simple with a normal hot chocolate served in a chocolatiere. We shared an indulgent piece of Chocolate mousse cake given that it was Father's Day on this side of the world.

I took the pic of the cake with my new camera. It's just a cheapie Canon but it certainly takes a decent enough macro shot if I play with the settings a bit. One day I will be able to afford a dslr. One day.

Awesome macro-shot. Those are so fun!!!

I love places where you can get different kinds of hot chocolate. I'd probably be like your husband and go for the crazy flavors. I like spicy/chili chocolate.

Tis yummy indeed. I took the hot chocolate shot too.

Dina we shall go there on your visit, even though it will be the middle of summer, where there is chocolate and two women, there is a trip to be had! Michelle, I will have to keep posting drool worthy photos of gastronomical proportions in Tasmania to get you to visit here ;-)

That'a a great shot...I got a dslr about 6 months ago and I am in LOVE with it. The dessert looks crazy good too!
