Mini Wales Challenge: Discovering Wales in a different way

Posted on September 25, 2011 | 1 comment

This moorning, I’d had to go to Wales to participate to the Mini Wales Challenge with bloggers from different part of the world. After a serious problem happened last night, I couldn’t join my team. I am very sad and dear Mini Wales Challenge’s organizers and bloggers team, please accept my apologies for this unexpected situation and the inconvenience. I would have a lot of fun to discover this amazing country in those exceptional circumstances. I am extremly disappointed not to be able to join you. But let’s stay positive: during the five days of the event, I’ve decided to make us discover what would be my itinerary in Wales!

Keeping its authenticity, Whitestable is a very chic seaside resort for Londoners. A big crush for the “very stylish” seaside to discover by bike, under a blue blue sky today: lucky me! I’ve always loved sheds and I want this one (picture below)!

Back to the Harbour hosts the main attractions of the Whitestable Oyster Festival, in a friendly ambiance. Between us, I really do not like oysters (lol!).

Lovely cottages with a fantastic sea view, most of them are Londoner’s properties. Maybe I will try some sailing, I love sailing. Okay, let’s meet later, in my coming-up post for a bit of shopping in Whitestable…

After the exceptional gardens of Walmer Castel, let’s stroll in the picturesque small streets of Sandwich. Look at the first picture, don’t you feel like being in the episodes of The Avengers! Lovely! Sandwich is a medieval town of Kent that used to be the most important port of England between the eleventh and thirteenth centuries. The Saxon orign’s name of Sandwich meant sandy place, or the place on the sand. But what about Sandwich the food? Well, circa 1762, John Montagu, the Earl of Sandwich and a burnt-out gambler, invented the sandwich. The legendary says while he was playing an endless game of cards, he asked for something to eat. The cook prepared him meat and cheese between bread to keep his hands clean. And our sandwich friend was born! Next stop : Whitestable’s seaside… sounds exciting too!
