Back in Orange, we found ourselves staying at the Orange Showgrounds while the mechanic wrestled with a stubborn turbo actuator. This unplanned stop in Orange turned into a delightful routine: a 2km walk into town for a much-deserved drink and, more importantly, some of the best churros we’ve encountered on our travels.

The walks were beneficial, stretching our legs after long days. What started as a simple desire for some comfort food evolved into a daily ritual, a little slice of normalcy amidst the unpredictable rhythm of the road. We discovered a charming café, "Oliver Brown," and quickly became regulars.

Their brunch menu, prominently displayed, boasted tempting options from fish tacos to healthy crepes, but we were fixated on one thing: the churros.

While Lisa usually opted for a comforting hot chocolate to accompany the sweet treats, we always shared a plate of the crisp, golden-brown churros, dipped in rich, decadent chocolate.

The chocolate was a true indulgence, the perfect balance of sweet and bitter.

Of course, we had to cut one in half to photograph the inside, just in case you thought we were exaggerating about the rich interior. Each bite was a mini-celebration, a small pleasure that made the wait for the repairs just a bit more bearable. We may have overindulged, but we have no regrets.
