Went to Sunshine Restaurant. We had heard a lot about it. The bar there makes a local punch – that you can buy by the glass or bottle. I asked them for the ingredients but they insisted it is their secret.

It obviously has rum and some different kind of fruit juices, I am assuming. You drink it after mixing some bitters and nutmeg.

I did not get a chance to taste it but from the effect it had on my friends, even to the untrained eye, it was evident that the Killer Bees pack quite a punch.

You can see Mt. Nevis – a dormant volcano behind us.

One interesting thing I learnt yesterday – Alexander Hamilton, one of the authors of American Constitution was born in Nevis and spent his early childhood here!

Those waves were at least twenty to thirty feet high. Even seeing from a fairly elevated point, they looked impressive in size.

The Caribbean usually conjures up images of pristine beaches, crystal blue water and the even bluer skies. One does not think of volcanoes. But St. Kitts has a (dormant) volcano in Mt. Liamuiga (Mt. Misery). The effect of prior activity can be seen on the north east side of the island. The beaches are filled with volcanic rock and the sand itself is black in color from those rocks getting pounded by big waves for centuries.

Okay, I will see myself out now 🙂

This is an impressive large structure (the part you see here is only one portion) made on top of the hill. Dates back to the 17th century. Apparently, this fort has never been conquered except once when the French lay siege on the British soldiers here.
