A Bimble Around St
Kitts
![]() We went with Everton all over the
island and got a good feel for the two sides of St Kitts - the tourist and the
normal side. Tourism depends on the cruise ships. There are some really lovely
hotels here and the beautiful beaches make St Kitts a very popular place to get
married. This blog celebrates the normal, the people are very friendly and
welcoming.
Bloody Point: It is
said that for several days the river flowed red with blood after the French and
English settlers massacred thousands of Kalinagos (Caribs) in 1626. This marked
the end of the Kalinago occupation in St Kitts. In 2002 a ceremony of atonement
was held at Bloody Point Canyon to release the spirits of the Kalinagos who were
massacred. (Our picture and the tourist one below)

nose toward duty free, no cruise ships = ghost town, hence the black and
white - Bear Alone
.
