CONE-TASTIC

Last Friday, my friends and I decided to watch the Tour Down Under cyclists warm up near Penfold Winery.   After that, we walked down to the Parade for lunch.  On our way there we passed by this little shop called Conetopia where everything is "in a cone" - gelati, pizza, yiros, curries and even pasta.  One of my friends was so intrigued by this concept that we spent 10 minutes in there looking at their menus before finally deciding to come back for dessert after lunch.  The Parade was quiet for a Friday afternoon because all the roads had been blocked for the cyclists.  After lunch we did indeed go back to Conetopia, where the four of us ordered gelati.  As we were sitting outside, the friendly owner of the shop came out and started talking to us.  After a while, we had finished our gelatis and were talking about how we would definitely try the other flavours another time.  The owner then spontaneously offered to make us two umbrella dessert cones - flavoured waffle cones topped with chocolate and Nutella and five flavours of gelati - for free! We were all like "REALLY?" It was so nice of him.  We had a lot of fun choosing the ten flavours and even more fun eating the umbrella cone.  This is what they looked like:

I really want to go back now and eat their mango gelati.  It's one of the best mango ice-creams I've ever eaten.  It's so smooth and creamy and SO mango-y.  Mmm...
