Nevis

So as you gathered from Rich we are in Nevis today and we were in Antigua Yesterday. We got off the boat today and caught the Tender across the the island, they do not have a deep water port here so the boat is a few hundred meters off shore. We arrived at the jetty and walked into town, not allot going on here,I guess they don't get many tourists. After about 10mins walking we found the beach and the Double Deuce Bar. Thankfully they have a Wireless Network! So here we are, 20m from the beach, rum, balmy breeze, private yachts, flat Caribbean sea, white sands and our cruise ship visible through the coconut trees.
When we boarded the Cruise ship in St Kitts 2 days ago it was so cold we had to put a Tee Shirt on! and I cant remember the last time i wore closed shoes, slops all the way!
Lunch was good, I hand the King Fish and Rich had a hamburger, we both had rum, what else! We have met a few other people, some Americans and some British folk we have been keeping and eye on the NZ Vs WI game online, and trying to explain to the yanks how it works, a lost cause.
A bit later there is Bonfire down the beach but we will go back to the ship first to drop off the laptop and cameras etc, I think we might pull it (again) tonight!
Well its getting late and the tender is arriving soon so we need to start taking a walk back to the jetty.

I'm sure we will update from St Maarten tomorrow. AND tomorrow we are going sailing on an Americas Cup sailing boat! NICE! US$75 for 3 hrs but it will be worth it! and then afterwards it's off the the legendary sunset bar to watch the 747's land and take off over the beach!

Cheers!
