We had lovely hot chocolate here made by The Blue Mountains Chocolate Company...the Belgian chocolatier who is making the chocolate has won lots of awards since opening in Katoomba last year...they also make ice-cream!

Dinner at the Hydro Majestic...

The dinner itself was perfect - the only pickle being that the restaurant was quite understaffed...

I love it when restaurants have their menus online...

High Tea at the Hydro Majestic

Tim and I had a lovely time in the Blue Mountains - we stayed (and ate) at the Hydro Majestic - in the Deco wing with a stunning (unless it was foggy - which it was quite a bit) view of the Megallong Valley... This high tea was amazing (as was the Josophan's chocolate Easter sculpture in the lobby)!!
