To celebrate the “first day of Spring” yesterday a friend and I went out for a delicious cup of hot chocolate. We had to laugh at ourselves for drinking hot chocolate at this time of year, but it seems that winter has returned, at least for the past few days. Temperatures have dropped dramatically, the wind has picked up and it’s been raining on and off day and night.
The hot chocolate was excellent and so dense we had to eat it with a spoon, rather than drink it! The owner of the caffé, Franco, explained that it is produced by a company called Eraclea that is rather selective about which establishments it allows to serve its product. The Sotto Coperta (which means “below deck” in Italian) has an outdoor area with tables, for drier, warmer weather, and a lovely view of the sea to the rear. It is one of the few bars in Molfetta that offer a relaxing and pleasant environment in which to have a coffee and chat with friends.
