St Kitts and Nevis, Day 4

 Our cruise continues and yesterday we made our first port: St Kitts and Nevis. Although the weather forecast was for showers and thunderstorms, they did not arrive until the day was complete. 

We did not have a planned excursion and so we got off the boat and walked around the port area for a couple hours. Our ship was the only one in port meaning that the shops were not crowded. The day was hot! The sun was hot! But we enjoyed ourselves, even stopping at a local bar for some refreshments.

The island is picturesque with its volcanic hills running right into the water. The hills are green and lush. In retrospect I wish we had done an excursion to explore the island a bit more.

The ship departed St Kitts about 6 PM and headed for St Lucia, where we are about to enter the post at Castries. We are looking forward to a bus tour around the island which will allow us the opportunity to see how the island has changes/grown since our visit some 14 years ago. 

More fun and adventure is in store.
