Today was our big hiking day in St Kitts! We booked a volcano hike with Thenford Grey (David was our guide) and we had SO much fun! We got to see the whole island and lots of towns on the way to the volcano.
The hike was through a rain forest jungle and it was really dense and green. It was pretty steep and there was a lot of climbing (thank you lunges and step ups!) but it felt good to work hard.
The views from the top were amazing. A famous Caribbean soccer player who was friends with the tour guide tagged along with us because he had never done the hike. His name was “Cruckas” or “Crackers” or something like that. It was a nickname. It was not a very popular, touristy excursion because of the difficulty of the hike so we were the only ones on the trail the entire time. It was awesome!
At the top David, the guide, gave us some local raisin and coconut bread that was so good! We also got to try a local ginger punch and it was interesting. Don’t worry, we made sure it was non-alcoholic before we tried it! I really liked it. Then we made our way down the mountain. It was such a great hike!
After seeing the richer, resorty side of the island we headed to a beach for an hour or so.
Then we got back on the ship for our afternoon eats, nap, ice cream cone, dinner and show!
