Serendipity Exclusive Vacation Cottages Antigua

... It seemed impossible in the rum flowing Caribbean on an island that offers virtually nothing. We had a really awful rolly night (although a great fresh fish dinner) so were glad to leave the next morning for Bequia.   Bequia Bequia was Dana's favourite island 15 years ago, when she spent a month there. We didn't have a chance to see all its corners and now that it is a much more popular destination (it was extremely crowded with boats) it didn't ooze its magic this time. We were ...

... a 4 x 4 excursion to the centre of the island, which in view of the number of visitors now deposited on the island seems like a lucky choice. Off we lurched in our LR Defender through the city with our guide pointing out local points of interest, he was a proper laugh, so chilled, no problems man; up we went to Convent's Hill for a breathtaking view of English Harbour and the surrounding scenery. Eric Clapton has a place here which ...

Dear Blog,

Another day, another adventure. We arrived at Antigua, Antigua and Barbuda at 8:00am this morning. Today promises to be a beautiful warm and exciting day as the sun is already rising along the island and showing off its bright golden rays.

Antigua boasts one of the Caribbean's most spectacular coastlines with secluded coves and beaches. The capital is St. John's and approximately 70,000 people live on the island. The official ...

... we van het goede, Franse leven. Aan het eind van de vakantie hebben we toch nog een tegenvaller. Boem We liggen achter een klein eilandje (Ilet du Gosier) en het waait al dagen 25 knopen. In de nacht neemt de wind toe tot 45 knopen en slaan we van ons anker. Ik ben al buiten als het gebeurt maar de boot ligt dwars op de wind en sleurt de 40 meter ketting te snel naar een lager gelegen jacht. Doordat het motorpaneel binnen zit kan ik niet snel genoeg vrijvaren. Een ...

Today we arrived in St. John's, Antigua, Antigua and Barbuda. We debarked the ship and walked a bit until we reached what seemed to be some sort of plaza, where a local was balancing a pineapple on her head while grooving to music, hoping to make a few dollars off of us tourists. Later in the day, we took a tour of the island and saw two gorgeous beaches: Dickinson and Runaway.

... staff applauded us as we walked down to the lower deck. After a drink on the top deck bar by the pool Sallie and Ray retired and we went to continue our celebrations in the players bar, were we had a dance and were told how very lovely we both looked, Thanks Dawn for the lovely dress. Vic and I finished the evening with a cup of tea on the top deck under the stars still being tole how good we looked and being congratulated by those who were still about.

... of the most stylish and cosmopolitan restaurants on Antigua. You'll find it close to the edge of the sea near the St. James Club, in an open-sided pavilion lavishly draped with bougainvillea. The owner's frequent travels have inspired the menu's satisfying medley of Italian, French and Continental dishes. My pick here is the ravioli stuffed with asparagus and shrimp! Other excellent choices include zesty pasta with fresh local clams; savory stuffed crabs; and fresh wahoo steak ...

... move the dinghies to collect us. Rickety is actually an understatement. Angie and I had a real adventure moving all of our purchases onto the dock without falling through. But we survived and it was certainly the most efficient way to get all of our purchases into our dinghies. By the time we had everything stowed we were exhausted and took a swim and had an early supper. That evening we were invited to Lady of Lorien for dinner on Thursday. The 22nd was Al's birthday. It was ...

... kayak and lay in it to clean the starboard outside hull. Three more hulls need attention but we ARE on island time. After collecting our laundry we swam into the beach and had a nice walk then returned to Free Spirit for our own Happy Hour and a quiet candlelit dinner. This morning I HAD to finish this blog. Al has been doing miscellaneous boat chores as I write. We hope this installation finds all of you well and that those of you in the northeast have cleared out all the snow!
