St Kitts is a kind of lush tropical paradise, a blend of sunlight, sea air, and abundant vegetation. It has been both a French and British colony dating back to 1623,with sugar cane being the main reason for colonization. It is now an independent nation but with many British traditions, including driving on the left side of the road, and a Governor General.
We had an excellent tour of the island with two main stops, a former sugar plantation, and a resored British fort, 1000 feet above sea level. The drive to the fort was a real nail biter, with blind hairpin switch-backs where horn honking is necessary - a real challenge for Ron's vertigo!
NEWS FLASH........Ron went shopping and actually spent money! He bought a Caribbean batik shirt.....Hey, Karen can't have all the fun.
