[Northwestern USA trip] Day 5 in Seattle, WA - Kerry Park + Fremont Troll + Seattle Starbucks Reserve Roastery

Another day in Seattle!



Kerry Park is a small public park which overlooks Downtown Seattle. The park's view is considered to have one of the most iconic views of the city skyline, as it offers a great shot of the entire Seattle picturesque skyline. It was just a short drive from our apartment, and I must recommend Kerry Park as a worthy visit if you have some spare time for photos!













A giant troll made of cement clutches an old VW car underneath an overpass in Seattle’s Fremont neighbourhood! 


The Fremont Troll is literally located under a bridge at the dead end of a street. We parked the car a little distance away from the bridge and walked through the neighbourhood to give the troll a visit!




We went to the Fremont Brewing Company to get some beers! We spent about an hour at the premises. They offer free pretzels to go along with drinks! This place also allows you to bring your own food while enjoying their local beers. 


We drove down to Lake Union Park for lunch, and we discovered Dukes Chowder House while strolling at lakeside and was surprised that it is an award winning seafood restaurant. Lucky us! 










Their award-winning Clam Chowder was epic!
Just three words to wrap up our dining experience: It’s so good!
If you are a Starbucks fan, do not miss visiting the Seattle Starbucks Reserve Roastery and Tasting Room, as it is a must-stop in Seattle in order to experience the finest craft coffee which cannot be obtained anywhere else!








It is truly the place to watch the finest coffee beans from around the world being roasted in front of your eyes. 


I took some random photos at the premises. 






We walked back to Belltown from Pike Street which took us 20-25 minutes. We needed to do some packing, but as it was the last night at Belltown Apartments we decided to try the Italian Restaurant below our apartment instead of travelling far.

La Vita é Bella provides authentic Italian food made with homemade sauces and pasta.

We started our meal with some sliced Italian bread with oil & herbs. My entree - Spaghetti Di Mare was excellent and I really enjoyed my dinner after a long day!

KUNDAL o ffers natural hair/bodycare products that have the perfect blend of plant extracts. Their products are comfortably referred to as green products due to their biodegradable and non-toxic components. What I love about the  KUNDAL HONEY & MACADAMIA  range is  that they use honey and macadamia extracts as their main ingredients. They are also infused with a specific scent - such as Pink Grapefruit, White Musk or Cherry Blossom, or the most popular floral scent, Baby Powder.

Thanks for introducing COCOnCO from Korea which has helped me to achieve pleasant results from my beauty regime.   COCOnCO First Essence Toner  is a fermented facial essence, and it soothes wrinkles, tones, moisturizes and nourishes the skin, enhances blood circulation and metabolic processes at the cellular level, evens out complexion, brightens the skin, reduces the secretion of sebaceous glands and fights rashes. If you have pale, tired skin with sagging and fine lines, these can be miraculously transformed with regular use of the essence! It is suggested to be used as the first step in daily skin care. Apply it to cleansed skin first before applying the lotion, emulsion/serum and cream.  It is recommended for the product to be used twice a day - Once in the morning, and once in the evening.
