After a freezing cold day in Quito, Ecuador that included getting stuck on top of a beautiful cathedral in the middle of an epic thunderstorm, we reluctantly admitted we had now left the Caribbean warmth that had treated us so well in the north. So we spent the rest of the day ducking in and out of delightful little chocolate shops, discovering @chocomashpi and their delicious cacao pulp bar, and warming ourselves with a soothing thick and silky hot chocolate in the delightful newly opened chocolate shop El Palomar Chocolateria.
A little off chocolate topic, but I just couldn’t resist! On this cold day in La Paz, Bolivia I’m craving the warm soft squishyness of a Colombian Pan de Bono! The best ones we had were in Cartagena, Colombia. 🍞 The ultimate blend of corn flour, cassava flour, Parmesan cheese and eggs, baked to perfection. Best served hot straight from the oven!! And go surprisingly well with a little morsel of chocolate in the middle - the warmth of the bun softens the chocolate perfectly, resulting in the awesome combination of chocolate, cheese and bread!! 🧀🥚🍫 What’s your favourite travel snack you’ve discovered? 🌎
