CappuDays #3

On Friday morning, I went for a little swim at the local gym and it was really nice. Although we spent most of the time in the Sauna and in the steam room, I can say that I felt quite accomplished afterwards. After our swim we went into Totnes (a town in Devon, in England, in the UK, in Europe, in the world, in the.... you get the point.)

We went to a place called The Tangerine Tree (English people seem to think that it is called a tangerine when in actual fact its a naartjie.) It is a small restaurant on the high street of Totnes and has the coolest wallpaper imaginable (Spoiler alert, it is a map of the town.)  

So here it is CappuDays 3: The Tangerine Tree.

My extremely horrific picture of the interior.

There was a really cool couch area just below the tangerine tree sign.

I need this wallpaper in my life, except it must be a map of all the places that I have been to.

And obviously, me drinking my cappuccino. 

Rating (/10)

Decor: 7
Cappuccino:7
Bathroom (contrary to popular belief, they're very important):I din't see the bathroom so I'm gonna say 10
Service: 8 (I have come to notice that a lot of places in the UK are self service places, so I'll judge based on how polite the waiters were.)
Overall vibe: 7.5
WiFi: 0 (how depressing?)

I also had some yummy breakfast and I must say I am really impressed with the quality of bread here in England. And I love bread so, yeah it has made quite a great impression on me. 

That's all, Bye! :)

Cappu Days #2

So this post is a bit late and it will result in me having to post several posts straight after each other so that I can post all my cuppa days before they start stacking up. For the second cuppa days I went to a place in Totnes called china blue. It is a pottery place that has a small coffee shop attached to it. Basically people go there to buy and or paint china and enjoy a good cup of coffee.

I have a new rating system for cuppa days which I will introduce in this post because.... Because why not?

So here it is cuppu days 2: China blue (oh my soul it rhymes)

First off, the most amazing bathroom that there ever was. This is literally the only bathroom that it is ok to take a bathroom selfie in.

Some of the decor. I wish that I had taken some more pictures of it because there was some amazing artwork and a whole lot of signs on the walls. 

A half empty cup of Cuppuccino which was amazing and a pamflet, because why not?

And obviously, me drinking my Cappuccino.

Decor: 8.5
Cappuccino:9
Bathroom (contrary to popular belief, they're very important):10 (possibly one of the most amazing bathrooms I have seen in a restaurant.)
Service: 8 (it is self service but the waiters were quite nice.)
Overall vibe: 9
WiFi: 9

Because of the excellent WiFi I was able to get some work done and by work I mean browsing the internet for endless hours. So yeah, that is a little thing about china blue that I have written for you and I am now going to say (you guessed it) toddle doo! I don't know what has happened to me.

That's all, Bye! :)

CappuDays #1

So, I am doing 2 posts in one day and I think I have to in order to make up for not posting for so long. Anyway, a friend of mine came up with an idea to sort of document my stay in the UK by doing something creative and fun. I have decided to call it "CappuDays" and the basic idea is that every where I go in the UK, I will have a Cappuccino and take a picture of it and a little info about where I was and what I did so here is the first one.

Today I went into Dartmouth with some moms and we had some coffee in this small little French café type of place. They had the most exquisite pastries and I went for a coffee Eclair which was absolutely divine. We took a ferry into Dartmouth which was a cool new experience for me, and the view was so amazing it was kind of like a postcard of one of those very English seaside towns, which is exactly what Dartmouth is!

So here it is, CappuDays #1

Going across on the ferry, the view was absolutely breathtaking. 

A random park that we walked by. It was so weird to see such spring like greenery when the weather was so grim. 

A fountain somewhere near the park.

A random building that we saw in the way to the restaurant. I don't know why I liked this building so much but  there was just something really cool about it.

Outside the coffee shop

Inside the coffee shop

My regular cappuccino and the most delicious coffee eclair I have had in my life. Actually I think it's the only coffee eclair I have had in my life.

And obviously, me drinking my cappuccino.

So yeah, that was a somewhat interesting account of my day in the lovely town of Dartmouth. It is literally one of the most amazing places that I have come across here in the UK. Well by "come across" I mean- well, you know what I mean.

That's all, Bye! :)
