Unseasonably Cold Weather in Eleuthera

Well maybe not unseasonably – it is February after all but we have had extremely chilly weather for the Bahamas.

We are staying for a couple of nights in a lovely hotel called the Knightsbridge – right here in the area of Knightsbridge in central London. It is […]
