Our next few stops were very relaxing :-)
St. Kitts
We stopped in St. Kitts on Monday. The island has had active volcanos before so we were thinking that some of the beaches may have black sand. We were surprised to see that the beach we picked was black sand!
The beach was called "Shipwreck" and there was some neat snorkeling right off shore. There was also a beachfront bar that was so neat. It was like something out of a movie. There were monkeys and mongoose running around and a relaxing environment over all. Andy and I tried conch fritters and they were so tasty!
Another thing that was cool about St. Kitts is there is a small sliver of the island that you drive over to get to this beach. When driving down a mountain towards that sliver of land, you can see the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the Caribbean Sea on the other. For some reason we don't have any pictures, but it was a neat sight :-)
After many relaxing hours on the beach, we headed back to the ship.
Antigua
We stopped in Antigua on Tuesday. It was such a fun day & I think they won the most beautiful beach on this trip :-)
We went to Valley Church Beach and the colorful buildings next to the white sand and blue water was just gorgeous!
The day we stopped in Antigua happened to be the last day of their Carnival celebration. Our cab driver had to drop us off a few blocks away from the dock because of so many roads that were closed off. It was blazing hot but it was fun to see all of the locals out for a HUGE parade celebration. They were dressed nicely too. Walking through "Carnival" on our way back to the ship was a fun way to end the afternoon.
I just couldn't stand the cuteness of these little girls.
