Mocha Mayhem...

Some little hole within myself has just been plugged up by Liam's timely post. I've forgotten how nice it is to read blogs other than my own. And, on another happy note... I can finally leave you alone Liam! Hoorah!

Now, I have roughly 38min to write this post before we launch back in to the venture I have come to know and love as if it was my own caffeine addicted child.

Bernard's (from what I can remember) was a happy little outing basically chosen for it's conveinient proximity to the trophy store where I was waiting for my spoon to get engraved. Long story! So for anyone wanting to get engraving done in Bathurst, Bernard's is a nice place to have a coffee hit while you wait.

I ordered a mocha wich was reminisent of my first coffee drinking days and when it came I remembered why I stopped drinking them in the first place. This coffee, whilst passing all my tests of warmth and appearance (yes, my tests are somewhat more simple than Liam's) simply did not have a coffee taste. It tasted of chocolate and not much else. I was disappointed.

I was also pretty discusted with the number of cheese and bacon rolls being consumed with the coffee at my table. Only certain foods can be eated with coffee... small cubes of pig dipped in cheese do not qualify. Sorry. I wanted to buy a baked treat from the bakery portion... however, I remember restraining myself due to the final price of engraving the spoon.

I really don't think I have much more to say about this experience. I liked sitting outside... there was a lot of wood inside... company was good, though again very male oriented... All in all, I give it rating of a bit above mediocre... but maybe I should just give up on drinking mochas again.
