St Kitts

Our next stop was St. Kitts.  St Kitts was really fun.  We hung out on the beach at the Marriott Resort with several members of the crew that we had made friends with over the course of the cruise.  They invited us along to the private beach that they have been given access to.  It was way fun.  While we were there one of the guests that was diving off the coast found an octopus hiding in a shell.  It was the coolest thing to see.  I was super excited to be able to see that.  I have never seen a wild octopus up close and personal. 

Another great thing about St Kitts is that they boast that their island has a population of 100,000 – 40,000 people and 60,000 monkeys – and boy they aren’t kidding!! The monkeys run wild there.  We were walking back to the ship and one just ran right up my leg.  You want to keep a hold of your bags though.  They have grabby hands.  I am not 100% sure they aren’t trained to do that, but I would like to give them the benefit of the doubt and just think that they are curious.  They are the cutest little things though.  They like to lift things from the local carts, including liquor bottles, so you can see some pretty interesting things. 

Overall, St. Kitts wasn’t our most exciting island but a great place to visit.  We had fun relaxing in the sun with new friends and then had fun walking the boardwalk and visiting with the monkeys!
