St Kitts

Our last island we went to was St. Kitts - another favorite. We would totally go back!
When we ported, there was already another cruise ship there - we got this picture. I am still amazed had how enourmous these ships are!

When we got off the ship - all the locals were there offering to you sell you stuff, playing live music, dancing, etc. It was like a huge party just for us! :)

TONS of the locals wered carrying around monkeys (there pet of choice) - I couldn't resist - I had to hold one! I lucked out and got to hold 2! It made my day!

Tren however wanted nothing to do with the monkeys. He didn't want to hold or touch them. The kid (who owned the monkeys) told him to get in the picture with me - he was a good sport and smiled for the camera. I just love this pictures.

We were walking around shopping and this kid was standing on the side of the road with his monkey chillin on his arm. It was so crazy! A picture of the city
We decided to get a tour of the island by taking a 4x4 excursion. This was our ride for the next few hours! We were packed in with a bunch of french speaking canadians. It was so fun to listen to them cuz both Tren and I took french in middle school.
When we started off on the tour, we were able to get a good picture of the ship.
They took us high up in the mountains as part of the tour. It was absolutely breath taking!
We were able to see almost the whole island plus their sister island Nevis.
My wild life husband was of course checking out all the plants.
There were cocanuts everywhere - too bad T and I aren't fond of cocanut.
So our guide took us on the other side of the mountain to get a glimpse of the Atlantic side. Mind you, we were in the jungle and I am a little short. I could not see over the plants. My sweet husband let me get on his shoulders so I could see.

After the tour of the towns, city and mountains - they took us to a resort to relax on the beach. It was gorgeous! Tren and I walk over to this little cove where there was nobody else. It was so fun to swim around and enjoy the ocean with nobody else around!
