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.

One of the lasting legacies of British Empire has been the railways they always built in their colonies. Even for a tiny island like St. Kitts, there is a railway that used to take sugarcane to the processing factories in Basseterre.

Now, I believe this is the only surviving railway that operates a train. Only for tourism purposes though. It is still narrow gauge!!

Reminds me of a Jagjit Singh sing!

Got a rental car for myself to drive around the island. I had mentally prepared myself to drive on the left side of the road. I kept reminding myself that the drivers instinct is always to keep himself to the middle of the road. So, it all works out.

Except that when I got into the car, I realized it is a US car (driver on left) but I have to drive UK style (left side of the road).

This is going to be interesting…

Team dinner to celebrate a great year and looking forward to the next one… Missed one of our key members though…

Thank you Malini for your great suggestion for dinner spot. That was total serendipity that last week you were exactly where we are this week. Your reconnaissance served us well last night!

We saw the owner/head chef but I did not get to ask him the burning question I had in my mind. Why put the phone number on the front awning? Once somebody has figured out how to reach there (we made a couple of wrong turns going up the hill), what use would the phone number be of any more? 🙂
