Oktoberfest 2014

Ok so this is really delayed. But it was such a fun trip! I went to Munich for the last few days of the 2014 Oktoberfest. We had such a great time in the tents and somehow magically got in each day with no wait. So lucky!

Afternoon Tea: Alice in Wonderland Style

As the weather slowly started to feel crisp and turn to Autumn, a warm cup of tea felt like a great way to spend an afternoon. I'd heard of an Alice in Wonderland themed afternoon tea at the Sanderson Hotel in Fitzrovia. I mentioned it to my friend Jenn and she was just as excited as me. We grabbed a reservation and prepared ourselves to 'go down the rabbit hole.'

Look at us in our trenches. We've embraced the London weather.

Everything about the table created a whimsical atmosphere from the dishes to the tea pots.

Cutlery was wrapped in a riddle. Mine read: 'At night they come without being fetched. By day they are gone without being stolen. What are they?'

Answer: the Stars of course!

The teas were exotic mixes of sweet flavors. I went with the lovely strawberries and cream. It smelled and tasted heavenly.

Our sugar even came in jewelry boxes! I had that exact one when I was little. It played the little song and everything.

The tray of savory and sweet treats finally arrived. It was a sight to see.

My favorite part, the 'drink me' potion that was a mix of coconut cream, passionfruit and mango puree. It really made the experience. I loved this afternoon tea. Definitely worth a trip there.

It was dark by the time we left. Yes, London gets dark early now. I'm adjusting!
