I am having so much fun reading the travel that Eylz started and also reading the POV stories from people we were and are virtually traveling with or the preparation from people who are meeting up with us.
Read up the 1dood's stories here and had hilarious fun:
So far, the grand tour is currently in Scotland so I am picking up from the 2-hour ride from before we got there.
Like mentioned before, Pichi loved Amsterdam. Even as they left for Edinburgh, she was really rerunning the fun things that happened in Amsterdam. She was seated on the window seat on the flight to Edinburgh and she looked out the window with a smile on her face. She watched the lights from the airport turn into smaller dots and fade away as their plane took off.
Now just staring at the window and the sunset glow, she finds herself giggling to herself when she remembered the Chocolátl, Pizza Heart Bar, and Ctaste.
Before going any further into Pichi's day dreaming.. .Do check out these fabolous
people.. They have been a constant source of push . . .They have astounding writeups!
The excitement of everyone was too high and strong to say "no" to joining them. Besides, Pichi would take her chances. Maybe she finds something she can bring home. Or she can capture their excited little kids' faces and they will thank her later for preserving their wide-eyed moments courtesy of the massive chocolate choices they will be seeing.
When they finally got inside the store, Bloghound, Eylz, Jaytee, Expe, and Marinov started checking out the displays and the small plates of samplers.
The moment they went off with muffled, excited shrieks, Pichi started humming Oompa Loompa song in her head. So while they were picking on the cubed samples of each artisan and gourmet chocolates and asking details about it from the crew that guided them, Pichi was going around checking the other displays. And alas! She found something interesting.
She chatted with the barista about what she found. She was told it is the last of their stock. She was shaking her head and laughing at the thought of buying this one. She was fascinated at the artistic way the chocolate was shaped into - a full set of dental model. And dig this, it has braces, too! She was super amazed at the artistry and imagination of whoever carved it, colored it, and shaped it. She knows of gummy teeth (those sour chewy candies in the shape of well, gum and teeth), but she has not seen chocolate carved and shaped into a full set of dental model. It was one heck of a cool remembrance if you ask her.
She was seen by @Just1dood who was also going around and picking one cube of samplers each and @Eylz2021 who happened to look around and caught Pichi lined up paying for something. When she saw what Pichi was paying for, she got curious and started walking up to Pichi to get a closer look. And when she did see it up close, she asked the cashier if they have one more in stock.
Looks like Pichi got a good one to take home - unique and everyone else wants it. Bloghound and Eylz were asking Pichi to have them have it instead because she is not going to eat it anyway. Pichi was thinking maybe she can go King Solomon on them for this one. If she is going to cut it in half, should she go: Lower denture and upper denture half or have each of them half of a pair of upper and lower dentures?
When she presented the idea to them, they stopped convincing her about it. Maybe they found it weird to be taking home not the full set. Just1dood presented another option : a BCH auction. To which another silence followed. Maybe they were thinking about it.
They all went out of Chocolátl chocolate library very happy. Everyone has a loot. Aside from the remembrance Pichi bought for herself, she was also happy with being able to have a taste of their chocolate drinks. She will not eat chocolate bars but she will definitely drink choco drinks specially if they are free. They went to two other shops where Jaytee, Expe and Marinov added to their, uhm, stock and where Eylz, Bloghound and Just1Dood stuffed their faces with more chocolates.
They went to the Pizza Heart Bar and she was madly laughing and amazed with meeting Just1Dood's alter ego, the Marvelous Pizza-man. It was fun seeing him agree to a challenge of eating 4 large pizza. They had a belly full of laughter because of Just1Dood and everyone was near crying. I think that pizza was loaded. We are, after all in Amsterdam, eh?
The Ctaste was an experience. We went inside in a line hands on the shoulder of the person in front us. We sat down quiet, nervous and excited at the same time. Pichi cannot remember who was seated on her left and who was on her right and if she is seating facing anyone. The fun part in that experience is imagining that you were really pinning your food correctly, slicing it, and hoping that by the time you place your fork inside your mouth, there really is a piece of meat at least that you got from your plate.
At this point the, PA started saying something about approaching the airport and the other safety measures. The flight attendants started going around to collect their trash and to remind everyone to put their seats straight up in preparation for the landing. Time to meet up with the other wonderful people as we set foot on Tengolotodo's turf.
Good evening everyone! Happy 25th of August. I hope your Wednesday was awesome and I hope you had a wicked fun day!
