Dover, UK: The White Cliffs and St Margaret’s Bay

After arriving by Ferry in Dover,  I shortly drive to St Margaret’s Bay, a peaceful small bay nestled in the White Cliffs, only accessible by car. Menacing skies  like in a painting. Few people have a picnic on the rocks, others go for a walk near the cliffs. A deep feeling of calm, time seems to be stopped.

Photo above : At the left end of the bay, four houses are built on the rocks beach. One of them belonged to Ian Fleming (yes James Bond’s daddy!).

Photos above and below : late lunch @ Coastguard. Great bay view on the deck and good food. By the way, don’t forget to bring your sunblock! T: 01304 851019, www.thecoastguard.co.uk

After this relaxing break, I jump in the car to the Walmer Castle, where the Duke of Wellington (yes the famous Wellington boots!) lived. I look foward to discovering its amazing  gardens. See you there in my coming-up post…

Hyatt Regency Kyoto: A Gem

Hyatt Regency Kyoto-Japan-2

A super charming design hotel

with an efficient staff! When I arrived in the smart entrance hall, I’ve instantaneously found the place welcoming, familiar and even intimate (picture above).

Very Japanese too : you really feel being in Kyoto and nowhere else. Same feeling in the comfortable rooms

Hyatt Regency Kyoto-Japan-5Hyatt Regency Kyoto-4-The Grill

Breakfast at The Grill restaurant

in front of a Japanese garden, I’ve really enjoyed meeting again contemporary art and fashion people met in Tokyo few days before (picture above). People easily talk to each other, in a cool atmosphere.

Don’t miss the Japanese acuponcture

at Riraku spa (pictures 4 & 5) : amazingly relaxing! A must do! Then late at night, after a very busy day, going back to the hotel is an absolut delight. Sounds like being at home.

Hyatt Regency Kyoto: A Zen Room

In the refine and intimate Hyatt Regency Kyoto,

you feel like in a boutique hotel, with high end service. I have a big crush on this elegant small nest in Kyoto. 

Kimonos fabrics above the bed, natural white oak on walls and for furniture, windows with a view to the bamboo garden.

The room is not big, but you feel like in a zen cocoon

that you don’t easily leave! And where you get back with happiness.

The granite bathroom (behind the glass door, photo 5), including a shower with a wood stool and a large bath, is a great pleasure. Comfortable, different!!! Suki desu.
