Island Tour of St. Kitts

It is Sunday here and we are serious slackers.  We had planned to attend church this morning to pay the missionaries back but slept through until 11:00.  What’s crazy is we went to bed at 8:00 last night.  We got lots of sleep but we must have needed it.  We started the day with a  wild ride around the island.  My dad gets better each time he drives on the left side of the road but it still scares the rest of us.  Our first stop was the Brimstone Hill Fortress.  It is a fort built by the British in the 17^th century.  It wasn’t wheelchair accessible but Mom and Dad made the hike to see it.  Kelly and I watched a little movie about it and walked around the portion that was accessible.  Kelly said it reminded her of the architecture of the castles we saw in Great Britain.  We bought some guava juice to try but Kelly turned her noise up at it after one sip. The second stop was down by port where the cruise ship dock.  We did a bit of shopping.  My dad flirted and teased all the Indian women working the stores.  Pirana Joe’s provided for a fun photo shoot.

Then we drove out to Turtle Beach to see the big pig and monkey.  The monkey was cuddled up in his cage by a goat asleep so no such luck holding it.  On the drive back we stopped at a lookout point.  From here you can see  views of  both the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Ocean.  We unloaded Kelly for a photo opportunity and there was a man with a monkey.  Kelly got to hold the monkey and was convinced she smelled like a wet dog afterwards.

Dinner was had at an Italian restaurant called PJ’s.  We all ordered something different and tried each others.  Now we are back at the hotel and Kelly’s getting the wet dog smell rinsed off her body in the shower.
