Possibly* the world’s most southerly award winning chocolate shop? @seriouslygoodchocolateco in Invercargill was a delightful start to my Saturday last week before I made my way over to Stewart Island (the southern most inhabited part of New Zealand) for a wee adventure. Hot chocolate complete with chocolate spoon, what’s not to love! What’s the most southerly chocolate shop you’ve made a visit to? *I say ‘possibly’ because I realise there may be a chocolate shop further south than this, in Ushuaia, does anyone know? #seriouslygoodchocolatecompany #invercargillfood #invercargillbusiness #headingsouthagain #cacaolove #chocolatelover🍫 #adventuresinchocolate #solofemaletravellers
For anyone that’s been wondering what’s happened to my chocolate activities lately - I’ve been immersing myself in unusual unconventional sports here in NZ. First up was Underwater Hockey (yes you read that correctly) where my team and I took silver at the nationals in our grade the other week! ‘Pumped’ doesn’t even cover it! #underwaterhockey #phoenixuwh #wellingtonsports #teamsports #wellington #newzealand
