Hotel Nolda, St Moritz

...capital of St. John's. We took a trip around the island on a catamaran and the boat picked us up from the beach right beside the hotel, we just had to walk into the sea, to about shin height and then up the catamaran's lowered steps! We went to Antigua to get married and the hotel offered a package to take us through the whole process effortlessly. One of the managers, Nolda, along with her assistant Bonnie, took us to the relevant registry office and high court to get our documents sorted before the wedding, and made sure everything went smoothly on the day (including organising the steel pan player to play 'Here Comes The Bride' - a nice touch).

The second day we began to drive to St Moritz (about 20-25 miles on a good road) and the snow began to fall with a vengeance. We had to turn back, it was a blizzard. We retreated into the house, ate a little and waited. The snow was hardly more than spindrift by the time twilight crept in upon us. We decided to venture out, into a completely private winter wonderland. There were no tourists, most of the locals were taking their annual holiday. Everything was fresh, white and magical.
