A tea with that please?

Last Sunday i went to Valparaiso to meet Lulo for a day of coffee, cafés and culture.
Substitute the coffee for tea and the culture for cake, and that's exactly what we did.


After the two hour bus journey there, i met Lulo and we walked up one of many Cerro's to Café Brighton which is at the end of a street that actually looks exactly like Brighton (except all the houses are made of corrigated iron in stead). 
I want to say it was cool but really mainly it was just creepy- like when you go to Universal Studios and walk through 'New York' and it looks so real but you just KNOW it's not and you don't like it.
Yeh it was just like that.





After a tea and some cat petting (on Laura's part, obviously NOT mine)at Café Brighton we headed off to stop number. 2.
A café 2 minutes away called El Desayunador.


obscene cake

For the rest of the afternoon we drank Twinings tea, had lunch, ate cakes, planned future youtube videos (WATCH THIS SPACE) and generally enjoyed sitting somewhere that could have been anywhere because we only had eyes for each other.

At 8pm we started walking back through the winding streets to the bus station in time for my bus at 9 back home to Santiago.
All in all, the perfect day.

Tea = good.
Chai tea = very goood.
Cake = extremely good.
Lulo + all of the above = SO. G.O.O.D


cant wait til next time.
