It was a lovely setting by the beach, but did the heavens open or what! The overhead awning closed just as we were getting well ‘spotted’ by the rain, but when it really started it fell in tropical style. It blew through and the wind was still blowing strongly so much of the ground was already dry by the time we left, but the tree frogs seemed even more vocal than normal on our walk back. In the morning, I had been persuaded to join an early nature ‘hike’ but I was glad that I did as our guide was informed, interesting, funny, and educational.
Then we took a return trip to St Kitts, with a short stop there. Passing the channel between St Kitts and Nevis, the wind was quite strong and the sea lightly choppy, so spray was thrown over the top giving us a cooling dowsing! Basseterre, the capital, didn’t seem that big, does have some nice buildings, but we did enjoy Independence Square, a monument to the cessation of slavery, which hosts a fine Catholic Church and colonial style building. I also got a good shot of two redheads, one a Flamboyant Tree, the national symbol of Nevis and, we guess, St Kitts. On return, it was time for a cocktail, again, and it was ever so slightly good! Well down the list now.
