Ocean Terrace Inn St Kitts Basseterre

... there for half hour, we need to go back to the ship by 330pm. Back to the ship, we grab some small snacks and our last chance to explore more of the ship and go for quick swim at the pool and try their slides. We really had fun and the kids are having a blast in the slides, while Ricky is at the fitness center and to the steam sauna. We had a another great dinner at main dining, and tomorrow will be our disembarkation in San Juan. I am now busy packing our stuff.

The Island is actually called St Christopher, which I found out after a while. Quite confusing when people talk about St Kitts and all I can find on the charts is a place called Nevis and another island just north called St Christopher. Well after the write up about this island in the cruising guide, proclaiming it to be one of the nicest, most unique islands with spectacular scenery and home to people like Thomas ...

The Barrett-O'Keefe's bucked tradition and went to Nevis instead of Hawaii. Overall I would say it was a good decision. The flight was shorter and the time change was minimal. The best part was staying in a beautiful house with our own pool. With the downturn in ...

POLSKI: Kolorowi ludzie, kolorowy kraj i niedziela - wiec zrobilismy sobie wycieczke do kolorowego kosciola :). Spedzilam przemile popoludnie w malym miasteczku, malego kraju (40 tys. mieszkancow) na srodku Morza Karaibskiego. Nie mialam duzo czasu, ale mam nadzieje, ze tu wroce i zdolam zrobic sobie wycieczke wokol wyspy. Internet cholernie drogi - 2 ...

... dead rubbers, but St. Kitts is a cricket starved island, and it was always going to be a big party either way!! I arrived on the Wednesday afternoon after stopping over in Miami. Bo Diddly gave me a cab ride to the hotel. Seriously, this guys eyes were just about to pop out of his head. He was nice though, and it became obvious that as soon as a West Indian realises you're Australian, they want ...

... Back in Frigate Bay for dinner, we went to the Shikkity Shack on the beach and had lobster and ribs. Reasonable prices there as we total was about $70 including drinks and tip. There was live music and entertainment including the local mythical FIRE MAN. He swallows fire, breathes fire like a dragon and does the limbo under fire pole. It was very surreal as they played the Fire Man Raggae song and all of the locals sing along. We are off to ATV in the jungle today, Friday.

... is not Aruba." And, when we got back to the pier, Paul was waiting at the boarding area. He claimed he looked for us, and decided we went back without him when he didn't see us. We don't think he looked very much, because we were right there, practically where he left us. Saturday night was formal night at dinner. We had much better food the second night. Our waiters were excellent, again. After dinner we had our portrait taken, then ...

... Cafe (more like a cafeteria). In late afternoon, there is a "Dog Tag Dance Party" right at the main swimming pool. The theme is military of course. It is ironic that St. Kitts government actually ban civilians and tourists wearing anything in camouflage (Is this island of 40,000 really afraid of military coup? ). So the partygoers, many of them in camouflage, are warned not to wander out of the ship. Now that is ...

... from revolt, planters had created divisions between slaves but this was no longer of any benefit when slavery was legally abolished in the British Empire in 1833. The law was implemented in 1834 but complete freedom didn't come until 1838. At this point, the British West Indies (BWI) was no longer able to compete in the suger market with other sugar producers. In an attempt to rescue the sugar industry in St Kitts, the government nationalized all sugar lands and ...

... with good manners and witty small talk. We're so glad to have visited St. Kitts when we did. It wants to stake its ground in the profitable tourism industry and is well-positioned to do so. A new Marriott just opened and Sandals Resorts has purchased some land where the locals now go to hang out on the beach. But we'll always remember St. Kitts as the small dot on the globe that rings no bells for most people but reminds us of white sand, blue water and genuine Caribbean hospitality.
