St Kitts

At St Kitts we hired a taxi driver named Martin to take us around the island 

 For a full day of fun

We never saw a cow but lots of goats chickens and cats

It was up to the rain forest....

To Romney Manor, an old sugar plantation that is now the home of carabelle batiks 

This tree is said to be 600 years old!!!

The colors of the houses are so bright and beautiful 

Inside they demonstrated how the process of batik starts 

First applying the wax....

To the drawings

And adding up to 9 layers of color

To create beautiful pieces of fabric 

I loved all the colors 

But you guessed it... I bought blue!

The lines were hung with all kinds of color 

Looked like our dyeing day with Anna Hergert

This was the uniforms for Carabelle

Then off to Brimstone Fort 

The climb was as steep as it looks

The view was spectacular

It's incredible to think how these forts were constructed and are still in immaculate shape 

Arnold said he was not game to real my fall on the way down 

It was a successful decent....

And back home for the day!!

I love San Juan!!!

St Kitts tomorrow...
