Hawaii Version of Downton Abby Tea...

My sweet friend, Marisa (also a "Downton Abby" fan) and I were

discussing this weeks surprising episode and decided that 

it would be fun to go to Tea somewhere.  I found out that

they still do an afternoon tea service at the Moana.  So today was our 

day to head into Waikiki.  

This was so fun!!!!

we both agreed that we had the best table on the lanai...right

overlooking the beach.

Marisa enjoyed her glass of pink bubbly

the food was so good!  Tea sandwiches, scones, mini-macaroons, Lilikoi tart, Devonshire

cream, lemon curd, mochi cupcake

we were given sandalwood fans

fresh berries with cream and brown sugar, to die for

the end was a lemon grass sorbet that was the perfect ending to such an elegant luncheon

while waiting for our car we sat on the front lanai in comfortable

rocking chairs.  We started chatting with a family next to us.  They 

were from Canada " but originally from the UK".  To say we were

swooning, would put it mildly.  We told her what we'd been doing at the

Moana.  She told us that she'd already watched season 3, wouldn't tell

us more, only that it's worth watching.

Cheers to my sweet friend,

"well we're locals you know"
