What Can I Say, Let's start at the End!

 What can I say!

When traveling there is always time for tea.

Sometimes they are not planned and

sometimes the occasion just arises and I can't resist.

 This was such an occasion that on the last day

I found we could get reservations at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel,

on the 23rd floor, in Las Vegas.

I was so excited, as I had seen pictures of other

tea bloggers having tea here.

So on the last day of our southwest adventure we had tea.

Now isn't that a perfect way to end the trip?

 Everything was so fresh and tasty, just a delight!
Smoked salmon and tartar cream on brioche bun
Curry chicken, trumpet mushroom and
Asian persimmon on sesame cone
Egg salad and chives on croissant bread
Black forest ham sandwich

 I did leave the blueberry scone

and just enjoyed the cream scone

with Devonshire cream and cherry jam on one side

and cranberry marmalade on the other.

  And the desserts were a sigh of fullness and satisfying deliciousness.
The green was a matcha puff pastry
Mango tart
Layered berry pastry
Blueberry tart

In my cup was the hotels signature tea,
a flavored orange black tea.

The view was spectacular.
The service impeccable.
The afternoon time for tea just the perfect
ending to an adventure in the sun.
