This is a section for links for interesting (I think they are anyway) sites. They usually call it 'pub crawling' to drink popping in and out pubs around the U.K., but in my case, since I cannot (sadly) drink much, it becomes cafe or coffee shop and sipping and tasting cup(s) of coffee - and here it means site crawling, of course. So, enjoy your cafe crawling! I hope to see you again at this little cafe.
