29th November, 2017 Day 16 Basseterre , St Kitte and Nevis.
/Words fail to satisfactorily describe the beauty of these tow island , which are almost opposite in effect.
We arrive again on a beautiful morning, almost perfection at 8.00am after a night with a generous swell and light rocking of Riviera.
Breakfast is in the Main dining room and we enjoy it but alos take in the spectacular views of the two islands.
We depart the ship at 9.45 Am and decide to travel across to the smaller island on the ferry. We travel with Ellen and Jack and enjoy the 15 minute ferry ride.
On leaving the pier we walk to a beautiful resort and sit and take in the superb scenery and watch people undertaking several different water sports. We did have a worrying situation as Jack (Ellen's Husband) had a fall when tripping over a kerb, but he appeared OK despite a heavy tumble.
We walked from this resort to the beautiful; township of Charleston , the tiny capital city of of tranquil Nevis. We did a little shopping and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves with an ice-cream and then sat at the port. The ferry arrived and we boarded and sat on the back deck, and wore hats and covered up in the bright hot sunshine.
On arrival back we decided to walk into the city of Basseterre and enjoyed the many historic buildings , took photos but decided it was too hot and returned to the ship, by 1.30pm.
There were still excursions departing for the beaches, but we were more than happy to enjoy the surrounds of our beautiful ship.
We dined in Jacques with another couple and can say it was one of the best nigh's we have had anywhere.
This is our last port, it has been typical Caribbean and very enjoyable.
We now depart for Miami this evening and enjoy the second performance of Elyse Branch, although Ken thinks she screeches.
