THE COTSWOLDS, a place of pilgrimage once upon a life time…(at least)

THE COTSWOLDS, Countryside B&B at Chipping Norton, U.K.
www.rectoryfarm.info

The Cotswolds were designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) in 1966, being one of the reasons, the well preserved & remarkably beautiful honey-coloured stone villages, widely spread among the rolling hills of Central England…(all of this remind us to the italian Tuscany).

AONB : http://www.landscapesforlife.org.uk/

Rectory Farm, offers luxury bed and breakfast accommodation in this area of the Cotswolds and is a secluded 270 year old, creeper-clad Country House situated in its own 450 acre valley of scenic farmland in the heart of the north Cotswolds. A charming setting for anyone seeking luxury in every sense. A natural 2 acre garden leads down to 2 cute spring-fed trout lakes (fishing can be arranged for guests) and into a unspoilt countryside beyond.

Don’t miss to note the funny & curious names of some of the COTSWOLDS villages:

SLAUGHTERS (upper & lower); BIRDLIP, GARNNY’S PUMPS…STOW ON THE WOLD

CÁCERES, when the good marmalade is in the small pot…

Cáceres is one of these typical small provincial cities which remain an undiscovered jewel and which delights and surprises everyone who aims to drive here, either from Madrid, Sevilla, Salamanca, or even from Portugal…this is not the type of place you cross through…this is the type of place you like to immerse through…and a Unesco Heritage too!

The writer of this tip had the pleasure to discover Cáceres during spring time, as well as the Extremadura region which literally means “Extremely Rough land”…this name is like a snail’s shell, it protects such a delicate interior. The landscapes of Extremadura are arguably amongst the most beautiful, unspoiled, virgin landscapes of Spain spotted everywhere with multicolourful wild flowers, wild green priaries, stork-nests, wild pigs and wild bulls…but we repeat…do this during spring time please, otherwise you might die in the attempt…and don’t be wild your self getting too close to the bulls…nor to the cows !

We would highly recommed two places to stay :

The first is a Starred Michelin on top of the medieval city of Cáceres

The next one is a beautiful B&B (rural house) in the middle of the mountains between Cáceres and Trujillo, another gem of a town & homeland of the spanish discoverer and sailor Francsico de Pizarro (conqueror of Perú).

KUALA LUMPUR : Welcome to POC…and welcome to the future…

Early Kuala Lumpur was a small town which buildings were made of wood and atap (palm frond) which were prone to fire…Besides that, Kuala Lumpur etymologically still means “muddy confluence”(Kuala is the point where two rivers join together forming an estuary, and lumpur means “mud”).

However, present Kuala Lumpur is already shaping the world’s future as can be evidenced by the PETRONAS twin towers…

The renowned Palm and Lauric Oils Price Outlook Conference & Exhibition (POC) is held annually in Kuala Lumpur & Malaysia attracts international participation from the oils and fats industry from more than 50 countries.

For such venue we propose one of the top hotels in KL; it has to be remarked that prices in Malaysia are still quite affordable in comparison to their quality.

AMSTERDAM, The Canal House Hotel

www.canalhouse.nl/rooms.htm

Each of the 23 bedrooms in this boutique hotel is recalling the influences of Dutch art and history. This building was home to several merchants and their businesses in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, before being turned into a hotel in the 1950s, by an eccentric and flamboyant American hotelier who was an avid collector of Dutch art and knick-knacks which were proudly displayed on walls, shelves and every other flat surface in the buildings in a traditional Dutch fashion.
