Lyons Battenberg Cake
This has been on special offer recently in Tesco's and since the offer has been on I have been able to eat single handed 4 whole cakes. The offer being buy one get one free and for a price of £1.29 pence, which gets you the two cakes, I think it is well worth it.
The Lyons Battenberg cake has been around for years and has been one of my favourite cake time treats for many a year. The fact that this cake is so sweet really satisfies me as I have a very bad case of sweet toothitis.
The Battenberg Cake is made up of a super soft sponge centre that is in two different colours and four separate squares of colour giving the cake a chequered look.

Accommodation
Lyon like any other major city offers a wide range of hotels at different prices. I personally stayed at the very reasonable and very nice Campanile Part-Dieu. This hotel was ideal.

Advantages: Convenient and an excellent idea Disadvantages: Revolting coffee!
out much hope of one bag being adequate for my taste. I wasn't disappointed! One bag of Lyons coffee brewed for 5 minutes, produced a weak, dark brown, odd looking brew.
I tried the coffee as it was and the first sip was quite disgusting! I could have been drinking hot water with a granule or two of instant coffee dissolved into it. It was truly undrinkable, so I poured it away and started again, this time using two coffee bags.
This time I left the drink to brew for a full 7 minutes. I removed the bags and tried my second attempt at coffee bag coffee.
First the aroma.....
Mmmm...and what aroma might that be? My coffee certainly didn't have any!
Then the appearance....
The colour was very much better, more like the deep, dark coffee I usually enjoy.
Now onto the all important part of the review, the taste of the coffee ...
