We started the day with an hour's walk on the beach. Prior to the walk we staked out our place on the beach and put towels and books to mark our spot in order to get closer to the water than we had previously. Well, nowhere is far from the water but still . . .
It is amazing to walk along the beach hardly seeing another soul. There are a few other people walking but they are few and far between. We basically have the place to ourselves. The water is incredibly clear and the color is beautiful in different shades of turquoise. After the walk we had a huge brunch with so much food that it lasted us the whole day. We did have a pina colada in the afternoon though :-)
Later we decided to take a cab to Basseterre, the capital of St.Kitts. Unfortunately we arrived there at the wrong time. It was Friday afternoon and everything was closing as well as the visiting cruise ship leaving. The cab let us off in the center of town, the Circus. We tried to find some stores The first place we found was supposed to be a Mall. Well, we do have different opinions about what is a Mall. There were a couple of stores open, but hardly anything to buy!
As far as we could see we were the only white people in the whole town except for one lady buying tomatoes off a truck! After stocking up on beer and snacks at a local food store we took a cab back to the hotel. Dinner was an expensive disappointment.
Tomorrow Kim and Charlie will arrive an we will plan some excursions, which will make the blog a bit more interesting!
