Island of St Kitts
Today we are in St. Kitts a beautiful island, and with its exotic landscape, is more common to Polynesia than the Caribbean. Along with it's neighbouring island, Nevis, the Spanish, French, and British fought over both islands from the 17 century with the English the eventual custodians.
The island only measures 65 square miles and has a population of 40,700 with the main language English.
Today the buildings are a mixture of typical French and English, mixed with modern day Caribbean houses with the brightly coloured tin roofs. Temperature is 30 degrees with a constant Easterly breeze across the decks. This breeze is evident in all the islands enabling people to have open windows and doors allowing the Caribbean breeze to blow through their houses keeping everyone cool.
The last time we were here was after a major hurricane which we believe was around 2000. At that time the island was starting to put itself back together after the devastation. What a difference today, As soon as we stepped off the pier we were standing in a multicoloured street with a myriad of shops selling all sorts of products.
