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!

Sintra, Portugal: Tivoli Palacio De Seteais, A Room

A buccolic retreat in the amazing Tivoli Palacio De Seteai  overhanging Sintra. Synonymous with an extreme refinement, you’ll precioulsly keep the adress of this 18th century gem. Volumes, architecture, interiors and the green settle bring you a deep feeling of calm. Cosy room with two big windows opened to a big French garden. The highly urban girl (me, me, me!) might forget her laptop! A Nespresso coffee maker for the addictive and the old-style bathroom. I walk in the large corridors like the caracters of the culte Resnais movie, “Last Year at Marienbad“, with  a timeless feeling! love this place.

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

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.
