Bliss and Mayhem

 Well yesterday, Melbourne's fury of the cold hit. We woke to a mild morning but the sky was clear and I was even undecided about turning on the heater.  Well, two hours later, the heavens opened up in all it's glory and Mother Nature brought a storm of all storms to Melbourne. There was flash flooding, uncontrollable winds and the temperature dropped dramatically. Winter is not just coming, winter is here.  I don't know about you but I'm am, through and through, a summer gal.

Excited, Just a bit. Hallelujah! Not only will I be landing in my favourite place to visit, full us sun, warmth, good food and magical sunsets - my love for the perfect cup of coffee with be gguaranteed. Let me share with you the " must go to " Coffee Shop in Bali and why when you visit - you will be hooked! Melbourne, is renowned for our snobbishness (yes, I admit we Melbournians can be snobby) when it comes to coffee, as we are blessed with an abundance of cafes to choose and our baristas do know their stuff. Even in my "bio" you can see that Coffee is a requirement, more, a necessity to get through my busy days without killing someone. Srsly. So when I started visiting Bali - I hit the JACKPOT when I discovered the BEST Coff...
