When we are visiting
the UK, I enjoy having afternoon tea as often as I can. The scones, the
sandwiches and the sweets are just the most amazing way to enjoy the afternoon.
Of course, I also love to have a pot tea.
Here in the states, finding a good afternoon tea is not so easy. You do not find a tea shop in every town and village like you do in England. I do look, believe me. I have found one that is available at one of my favorite hotels in Newport, RI, The Hotel Viking. I usually try to have it included in my rate whenever possible.
It is the usual three-course affair but of course, no clotted cream and the sandwiches and sweets are
not the traditional ones you get in England. Never the less, when I can’t get
over the pond, it is a pretty adequate substitute.
My friend Irene and I
enjoyed sitting and sipping while chatting and enjoying the fresh strawberries
If you are going to be in Newport, I recommend a stop of tea at the Hotel
Viking.
