Nevis, Nevis, Saint Kitts and Nevis

We had a great day on our 9th anniversary! We went on all day Catamaran trip with the entire TI crew. We 1st stopped off at coral reef where we wnet snorkling and saw many tropical fish, turtles and lots of colorful coral. We then stopped off at the Coco Beach Club on the island of Nevis and had lunch, rum punch and enjoyed time on wave runners. On the way back to St Kitts Island, it's customary to dance around the boat for good luck so we danced to raggae music around the boat!. 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.
