【肯特郡】惠斯泰布爾牡蠣祭（一）市集－il Giardino Romantico

Allons-y! To the Whitstable Oyster Festival! This is the shuttle bus that took us straight to where the event took place. It was really convenient, because without this service, finding a parking space would surely have been a pain!

出發囉！要去惠斯泰布爾的牡蠣節囉！這是活動專屬的接駁車。其實很方便，因為要是開車去，停車位一定是一位難求的啊！

We spent only a day here, but there was so much going on, it's impossible to record everything in a single article. This article is mainly about what we saw in the market fair. The series, however are divided as follow:
Oyster Landing Ceremony
Parade
Dog Rescue
Morris Dancing Part 1 and Part 2.

I hope you stay tuned for all of these, because you'd be missing out if you didn't!

其實在這裡只玩了一天。不過實在太豐富！所以一篇根本就不可能介紹的完。所以這篇只抓了市集當作是重點。其他後續的分類如下：
Oyster Landing Ceremony（牡蠣上岸儀式）
Parade （遊行）
Dog Rescue （狗狗救生秀）
Morris Dancing （莫利斯舞蹈）上集跟下集

希望大家不要錯過！因為實在太有趣，錯過真的太可惜！
