Sintra, Portugal: Tivoli Palacio De Seteais, The Precious Hotel

After my posts of the room and gardens, here’s the last post on the beautiful corridors and lounges of the Tivoli Palacio De Seteais. An absolute crush on this former palace of the Eighteenth century where Lord Byron stayed, today turned into a luxury boutique hotel. Elegant, warm and decadent: hanging out in its long corridors may set up an activity, there is always something to discover, a decorative, painting, porcelain … Everything here leads to an encounter with beauty: for all of those seeking a timeless haven. A priceless spot.

The Crossing from Dunkerque to Dover

I go visiting Kent. Why? Because, I only know London (surprising!) and Ms Moss has a home in Kent (oops! gossip girl, shame on me!).  And it’s summertime and I want to have a big breath of fresh air in a superb English garden. More exclusive than dancefloors in Ibiza, isn’t it? So here the pictures of my first crossing from Dunkerque to Dover, aboard the DFDS Seaways ferry. Landscapes are  really impressive. The emerald green water’s color is amazing!

Pictures 2 & 3: Bye Bye Dunkerque! Lovely natural light and dramatic clouds, I feel spoiled as a photographer. But it’s too much windy on the decks, I chill in the relaxing VIP lounge, accessible with a first class ticket.  

Picturess 4 & 5: the famous White Cliffs of Dover! The frame is striking, hypnotic. White as chalk, those cliffs take a plunge in a cristallin water dark blue and emeraud green. Stonished!

Last picture: I arrive in Dover. Direction a small bay nestled in the White Cliffs : follow me there in my next post! 

Infos : the Ferry FDS Seaways good deal, from 1/6 till 30/9/11 : return trip on the same day, with a passenger car (max 7 people), 29€ per car. Or 5 days return trip: from 49€ per car with max 4 people. Phone: +32 (0)2 719 90 92, www.norfolkline.com, [email protected].
