Taste of Belgium (in Aruba)

Taste of Belgium is my new favorite spot for dessert in Aruba. I had been resisting the addition of another place like this in an effort to control the expanding waistline. That battle is temporarily suspended. Let the fun begin! Stopped in here a couple of nights ago. Ordered chocolate cake with chocolate ice-cream. Here’s a photo of the whole shebang:

I forgot to mention there was coffee, too. Check this out.

That little shot of liquor on the side puts the concoction in the high-horsepower range. Delicious. And how about that silver tray service. Classy. I found everything here very tasty and especially appreciated the good service. There was a young fellow on duty. He did a good job tending the table. Also, this place is glassed in from the bustle of the surrounding Palm Beach Mall, making it easy to have a nice conversation. Enjoy your visit. If you see me there, don’t comment on my bulges.

Starbucks, Aruba

If you’re visiting the island of Aruba and can’t do without your double latte mocha whatever from Starbucks, I have good news. A couple of branches have opened. A very nice one opened in the middle of the Renaissance Hotel on the ground floor. Here’s a view from the balcony lobby above.

You can see the miniature wharf where you can catch the boat shuttling you over to the private island. Anyway, from what I understand, WiFi is available here. Take a look at the people enjoying their brew while tapping away on the internet.

Looks like a fine place to check your email, watch the people, and recharge your caffeine batteries. This location is immediately adjacent to the shopping mall with all the high end stores, which may also be therapeutic to some readers of this blog. Enjoy your visit and don’t forget to shut down the computer once in a while and get out in the sunshine.

Bon dia.
