Day 6



The living room of the plantation

We docked at 8am at St. Kitts, a beautiful island of 50,000 very friendly people. St. Kitts is a volcanic island with lots of small dormant volcanoes.


We took a taxi plantation home and grounds of a local couple. He was from Britain and she was a Crib Indian from St. Kitts and it is her family home that we visited.

After that visit, we took the taxi to the south part of the island to the St. Kitts Marriott Resort and spent the afternoon on their beach. Lunch was at their restaurant and we ordered a grilled sandwich that consisted of sweet bread, sliced pork, a white cheese and pineapple, a really great sandwich.

We then took a taxi to the center of the city away from the tourist area and found a great store where Barb bought a purse and some clothes and Ed bought some Batik shirts that are made on the island. Did we need them – no, but we are on vacation!!


We then went back to the ship and relaxed until it was time to go out. The show this time was before dinner and the act was a comedian who was funny but just ok.

After the show, we joined our new tablemates for dinner. We have a great table as all three couples bring something different to the table. Amazingly, we ran into both couples on the island while we were wandering around the city.

Then it was onto the casino to close out the evening and start the next day. We have been averaging 5 hours of sleep each night – vacations are fun!!

Tomorrow Dominica
