ST. KITTS, West Indies

A P&O Cruise Ship with 5,500 passengers and an AIDA Ship with another 3,000 passengers were both in port at ST. KITTS with us today. The Port shopping, ferries, water taxis and beaches were packed. We decided to get out of town and go to Nevis Island - to explore the more quiet and upscale areas. Below shows port area at St. Kitts and then taxi drive south, with overlook stops to see where both oceans are visible over narrow stretch of land. The Atlantic (rough water) to left and Caribbean (calm seas) to right, looking south toward Nevis. The beaches down at this south tip were lined with umbrellas and tons of English and Germans packed in.

Private Water Taxi  way to go! Going over and coming back 10 minutes each way! Great ride!

NEVIS ISLAND - Lunch at the 4 Seasons! Rod's quote "this don't suck!"

Our new friends in Nevis told us after lunch, we had to stroll down the beach to the Sunshine Cafe and swim & get Bee Stung! So we did and the Bee Sting is house special, rum punch, with honey and lemon juice. We each had a mini and left our mark on this place.

I really enjoyed my first trip to Thailand! On our final morning here we went to try breakfast at this spot, down the road, we had been hearing rave reviews on, King Of Bread . The hype was correct, the breakfast was delicious and they had some unique choices. I had eggs benedict on a croissant, in lieu of the standard english muffin and Bosco had it on Milk Bread, which was equally tasty.

We love having authentic experiences with locals to really get a chance to see how they live and thrive in the Ports we visit. So when I found a cooking class, by a local woman offered in her home, we were excited to book. Um ( our teacher) picked us and brought us back to our hotel along with the family of 4 from Sydney, Australia, that had also signed up for this afternoon class. Um's house, which has a lovely open air kitchen, garden and dining area, was about a 30 minute drive and turned out to be on the beach, right next to the Grandparent Rocks.

The nightlife scene doesn't really get going till after 11pm and goes till 5 am in the Chaweng section of Koh Samui . We made our way over to the club district, and one of the hot spots called the ArkBar a little past 10pm to have some dinner, while watching the beach fire shows.
