Some of the famous quips from my teammates sitting on Pinney’s beach with the Killer Bees… “Dumb people do not know they are dumb”! I have no idea what the context was but that statement stuck in my mind.

There was a time I had stepped out to get something – probably another round of drinks. When I came back, the topic of discussion somehow had veered towards tattoos. And the statement that made me double up in laughter … “What happens in Nevis… stays in your lower back”.

Speaking of stepping out to get something… apparently, I am so worried about arranging stuff and organizing details, that my team has a new name for me… “Raj Uncle!”

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.
