St Kitts & Nevis
 
We left a Nevis and made a short crossing to St Kitts and into the marina at the capital Basse Terre.
 
We spent the afternoon exploring the town which was very British (it even had red phone boxes. We replenished stores and ate out that evening at Ballyhoo Restaurant - which was located on an openair balcony overlooking Piccadilly Circus! - where we had a nice meal complete with an interesting cocktail called "Dark and Stormy"... delicious.
 
Next morning we enjoyed watching the coming and goings of the cruise liners and their passengers. In the afternoon we hired Randolph- a very friendly taxi guide and we toured the island. WE particularly enjoyed seeing the tropical gardens at Romney Manor and had a fascinating stop Fort George on Brimstone Hill (where we almost lost Michael in the dungeons.
 
Today we moved on to a quiet anchorage and we plan to leave for St Barts bright and early tomorrow. M and M
