St. Kitts (March 27)

We got more that we thought we would on this excursion! The bus driver gave us a tour of the city as we drove to the kayaking spot! St. Kitts is very beautiful. It was very mountainous. One point, we could look down and see both the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea. It was beautiful. There are lots of monkey on this island and they kill the fruit crops and the sugar cane. We saw one as we drove down the road, but didn't get a great picture of it. We also go to see the new Marriott resort on the Atlantic side of the ocean. Very lush and Ricky and I would love to vacation there sometime!

Once we arrived, we suited up for snorkeling. We saw a lot more fish in this area and I adjusted a lot better this time. 

When we got out of the water, the guide had a sea urchin that we got to hold. It was very prickly with suction cups underneath.Very interesting!

 We got into the kayaks, which were 2 person kayaks, and headed out to sea. I remember going around coves and coves just wandering where the beach was! It ended up being a two mile kayak trip! We saw mountain goats and very beautiful scenery as we kayaked to the beach. It was somewhat difficult to steer through the waves in the ocean, but we managed to make it!

 On the beach, we got to enjoy some local fruits, grapefruit, oranges, pineapple, and coconut, and juices. It was a great day, but we were exhausted! We headed back to the ship to go relax in the hot tub. How nice!

The show that was scheduled for that evening was cancelled because the comedian got sick, so they had the same comedian from the first night perform again. We decided not to go, since we had already seen him once and he wasn't the best. We went to the game room and played Settlers with my parents and their friends. After the game, we headed up to the diner for the Caribbean Buffet from 11-12. The food was really good, especially the fruit! It was different eating food late at night, but we were enjoying our vacation! Another great day!
