Our Adventures: March 2012
http://coraandcw.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 17, 2012. A Week on the Isle of Skye. Skye, an island just off the west coast of Scotland, is home to several large peninsulas, striking mountains and gravity defying sea cliffs. It also has many tiny little fishing ports, hairy cows, curious sheep and its own award winning distillery. It is sparse and mystical and has quickly become our favourite place in Britain. The light casts different colours on the far-reaching landscapes and the beauty of the island starts to take hold and make an...

Our Adventures: January 2013
http://coraandcw.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 05, 2013. Afternoon Tea in London. Afternoon Tea is one of those quintessential British activities and though we have done it in Devon and the Cotswolds, we haven't had High Tea in a posh London hotel. We didn't want to go to a big place like the Ritz or Dorchester, so instead we found a small out of the way hotel in Knightsbridge, so still plenty posh! The Egerton House Hotel. All in all we had an very relaxed three and a half hours enjoying how the other half, or 1%, live! The Christm...

Our Adventures: Antigua - Water and Sand
http://coraandcw.blogspot.com/2012/11/antigua-water-and-sand.html
Saturday, November 17, 2012. Antigua - Water and Sand. One of the best things about going to Green Island was the seclusion. There were several different beaches you could be be dropped off at, but the best one for snorkelling was Ten Pound Beach which was home to a couple of palm trees and not much else for that proper deserted island feel! The snorkelling itself was good and the visibility was top rate. We saw a whole host of different fish than we had seen at Green Island and also a reef shark! Ricky ...

Our Adventures: August 2012
http://coraandcw.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 04, 2012. The London 2012 Olympics. The real highlight for us was the opportunity to go to a live Olympic event, Beach Volleyball. On a partially sunny afternoon, it is Britain after all, we went along with our friends Oliver and Pascale to Horse Guards Parade. It was certainly a massive difference from our efforts on North Avenue beach back in Chicago all those years ago! We saw two men’s and two women’s matches and all were very exciting as we saw the world champion women&#...Photos of...

Our Adventures: Antigua - Friendly Faces
http://coraandcw.blogspot.com/2012/11/antigua-friendly-faces.html
Sunday, November 18, 2012. Antigua - Friendly Faces. The people of Antigua are universally friendly and very proud of their small island. They are happy to assist the lost tourist and a little effort goes a long way. We made sure to interact with people wherever we could, both at our resort and out on the island. Vanda in our resort restaurant. The Bay @ Nonsuch. Always made an effort and had great suggestions on food options, while Tim and David made some fabulous cocktails. Half Spanish, half Trinidadi...

Wednesday, September 05, 2012. The London 2012 Paralympics - Meet the Superhumans. Following our wonderful experience at the London 2012 Olympics Beach Volleyball and hearing about people's trips to the Olympic Park, we were lucky enough to secure tickets to the Paralympics. The tagline for television coverage here in the UK was 'Meet the Superhumans' and boy were they right! The Paralympics features athletes with a variety of disabilities, and therefore there is a rather extensive classification system ...

Our Adventures: December 2011
http://coraandcw.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 29, 2011. A Winter Escape to the Beach : Camber Sands. Seeking a last minute escape and a way of using some free train tickets, we sought out a beach escape on the South Coast. We had no real idea of where we wanted to go, simply that it should be walking distance to the beach and accept a dog - obviously! As of Boxing Day we had not found anything, but at about 6pm we found 'The Warrens' - a lovely little beach themed house in the village of Camber. Even though we were only down in Ca...

Our Adventures: Ice Skating at Somerset House
http://coraandcw.blogspot.com/2013/01/ice-skating-at-somerset-house.html
Wednesday, January 02, 2013. Ice Skating at Somerset House. The Christmas season in London is not complete without a trip to one of the ice skating rinks they put up at famous landmarks around the city. There are temporary rinks in Hyde Park, the Natural History Museum, Tower of London and Somerset House. We have been to all of them except the Natural History Museum, which is usually overrun with kids, but we have not skated at Somerset House in the evening, when it is a touch more romantic!
