Holidaying in a prime tourist spot is both wonderful and challenging at the same time. You find yourself amidst the cosmopolitan vibe, enduring from traffic and endless queues at all the popular hang outs to weaving through the night market crowd and finding "your" spot at the beach. But before you say, "oh no", that is precisely why being in such a place is absolutely awesome. While fighting your way into Seattle because you KNOW their coffee is great you realise the greater the endurance expected, the greater (and sweeter) the reward is when you take that first sip. Then you look around you and the world slows down, the calm sets in and you notice the small things in life you've been running past/from all year. Such as the delicious Pecan Maple Pastry Plait, or the amazing Zesty Lemon Muffin Zeattle boasts. At Whale Coast Mall the barista West produces the best flat white around, called a "Double Short Latte". American for Flat White. Suddenly you don't see endless queues, but a reward for waiting. The night market crowd delivers a sense of belonging and the beach spot becomes a thank you wave from the sea. And no amount of wind or rain diminishes the riches found when navigating to all the places to see and experience. A sip of good coffee turns traffic into me-time and a cold swim into a massage. A sip of good coffee makes the sea wind salty and sultry. Yes, when you find it, holiday coffee is worth the effort!
