Nevis

I never shared our day on the beautiful island of Nevis from a few months back. Nevis is just two miles and a ferry ride away from St. Kitts. The two islands make up one federation, but still, there is a whole different feel on Nevis. You can go to the end of this post for a short history of St. Kitts/Nevis. So without further ado, here are our pics from Nevis.

St. Kitts in the background.


History dating back hundreds of years.


We saw the birthplace and childhood home of Alexander Hamilton.



We saw beautiful plantations. Most are now bed & breakfasts, restaurants, or small hotels.













Interesting foliage and colorful shops.




Spent some time in the hammocks on the beach.




And had a handsome escort.
