St Kitts.jpg|St. Kitts - The peninsula on the south-east tip of St. Kitts. The island on the left is Nevis.

Background

Basseterre is the port of entry to St Kitts and Nevis. What is really remarkable on St-Kitts (and Nevis) is the natural aspect. Many tropical birds which one rarely finds elsewhere are present in great concentration in the nature and there are also the famous monkeys which, it is said, were introduced by the pirates. An all-new road permits going to the southeast end of St-Kitts (Turtle Beach) where one feels that a certain febrility in the air will make of this part of the island an appreciated place. Indeed, one has only to take a little adventure in the underwoods with some fruit in hand to see oneself quite soon surrounded by monkeys coming gently to meet one to get fed.
