Patisseries and magic spells - Part 2

🗣️ In the last episode of World Tour 2023…
[montage plays involving art, food, walking, Eiffel Tower, and suspenseful reference to a great night out for the parentals]

…and now the story continues in Part 2…

When we arrived at the bar and were to we should head downstairs and we’ll receive our capes we thought “The French have weird ways of welcoming you…” and headed in downstairs only to find that we were indeed being handed large, heavy, brown capes to wear…oh and that as apprentice alchemists we were allocated to a Master Alchemist who would help us through the evening……

Turns out…Dale’s French is not as good as he remembered and he had booked into a magic themed escape room murder mystery scenario…thank god it did indeed involve cocktails…even if we were only taught how to make one!

It was fun though, and in true Dale & Kylie style, once the giggling at our predicament stopped, the competitive streaks soon kicked in and, despite the clues being in mostly French, we absolutely smashed the competition and guessed the murderer… 🤜🤛💥🏆

Having exposed the reality, saved the school, and graduated from apprentices to journeypeople it was time to pleb ourselves in a non-magical bar (bloody muggles).

We found a real bar or three so off we went to check out the jazz bars on Rue des Lombards. Whilst the drinks were welcome it was seeming a little difficult to get into see what we thought would be just a band playing in an open bar but just as we were leaving we were talking to the bar staff and they said we could go up and check out the last 30 minutes of the set playing and what we found was great!
A tiny room with only a few punters and a 6 piece jazz band playing covers and originals…so smooth! Cognac and red wine ordered we sat back and watched the rest of the show before heading home.

Great night…magical one might say! 🧙‍♂️🧙‍♀️🧪⚗️Read more
