First it's coffee!

One of the delights of our travel style is finding good coffee. Sometimes in franchised stores [Tim Horton, a Canadian version of Zarraffas] but we have to be desperate.

Much more common are the unique offerings found along the way - in smaller towns, side alleys or off the beaten track. They might be quirky and unusual but they are filled with that BUZZ. It’s the complete experience we are searching for.

There have been some excellent offerings, great for people watching and good nibbling. Enjoy...

* Musette [Vancouver] - Can you have good coffee near Lycra-clad people? Apparently so. Great breakfasts as well. This caffe supports cycling and has wonderful paraphenalia!

* The Gathering Tree [Valemount, BC] - In a little country town was this escape, making great coffee and providing a wonderful haven from travel. Inspiration sayings! Czytaj więcej
