Steamy summer night surprise


Our apartment complex is in a convenient location. Just a 20 minute walk along the river to the heart of the financial district with many shopping malls, restaurants, museums and views of The Bund. Along the river is a very active walking promenade, with park like settings, benches, a little marine for luxury boats,  the usually assortment of food vendors and hucksters and a nice selection of restaurants with fantastic views.

A week after we moved in, we had dinner at one of these restaurants. A colleague of ME's and her husband who lives in the same apartment building as us, took us to a very nice restaurant. There we had an assortment of tapas and several other house specialities recommended by the owner who the husband knows. We ate inside because it had been threaten with rain most of the evening. After dinner even though it was very steamy out we decided to walk back home. Along the way they asked us if we wanted to stop for an after dinner drink. ME goes, "why not".

We stop at this place called Kafer's. Once inside we were ushered to the far end of the building and were handed big winter coats with hoods. Okkkkkkk. A door opens and we walked into a mini igloo ice bar stocked with over 150 types of vodka. Very cool and very impressive.

So when you visit us and we are walking home from a nice dinner along the river and are asked if you would like to stop for an after dinner drink, this is where you might end up!

after several minutes you really need the coats
