Loads of fun is how I’d describe our New Years for 2006 – 2007. Karl and Sarah joined us as we travelled to the Celtic Manor in Newport, Wales on Dec 31st 2006. The guys headed out into the rain for golf while Sarah and I accumulated a few... by Tracey | May 9, 2004 | Berlin
We woke to a rainy Sunday and took an early morning walk up the Kurfurstendamm. At the far end of the street is a steeple of a church, which was bombed in the war. It has been left as a memorial. The jagged edge really brought it home to me that this is recent... by Tracey | May 8, 2004 | Berlin
Our trip to Berlin was primarily for the Ladies German Tennis Open. Originally I had hoped to see Justine Henin, but she pulled out before the tournament due to a virus. Then during the week Kim Clijsters retired from a wrist injury. So there was only a few top names... by Tracey | Sep 21, 2003 | Greek Islands
On Sunday we had to be out of our room by 10am, so we had breakfast by the pool and stayed there until 12.30 when the coach came to take us to the airport. It was the hottest day yet so we were envious of our new friends who were on a later flight. I spent some time... by Tracey | Sep 20, 2003 | Greek Islands
Saturday was our last full day and we had use of the car until 5pm, so we went back to Argostoli for breakfast. We ended up going to a bakery and then walking along the harbour; it was so hot though the getting into the air-conditioned car seemed like a better option... by Tracey | Sep 19, 2003 | Greek Islands
For Friday we planned to drive up the West coast to the top of the island. We set off and drove through Argostoli, which is the island’s capital. They have a bridge that is now a causeway as it dropped so much during the 1950’s earthquake that nearly... by Tracey | Sep 17, 2003 | Greek Islands
Of course after such a big night we were glad to laze around again on Wednesday and enjoyed the best weather so far of the holiday. I was already up to my second book and feeling very rested. We had hired a car for Thursday through to Saturday as we had decided... by Tracey | Sep 16, 2003 | Greek Islands
We awoke to clouds on Tuesday and I expected the weather forecast to come true, and it did rain while we had breakfast but stopped as quickly as it began. We had another lazy day by the pool, with a tennis game late in the afternoon. Gavin won 6-1. It was too hot to... by Tracey | Sep 15, 2003 | Greek Islands
Monday morning was time for our welcome meeting where someone from Tapestry holidays told us about the island and what we could do while we were here. She also told us the way to the town (pity we hadn’t had that bit of info on Sunday night). We then spent the... by Tracey | Sep 14, 2003 | Greek Islands
We had such a lovely holiday..Cephalonia is a beautiful Greek island, prettier than Corfu I thought. We arrived on Sunday 14th Sept, to sunshine despite the weather forecast suggesting thunderstorms. In fact this was the forecast for the whole week we were going to be...
