Emerald Princess Cruise – Day 6 St Kitts's

Today's excursion didn't start until 11:30 so I slept in until 8:30 and got up and had a nice breakfast and then read for a bit and left the ship about an hour early to do some shopping. I had decided earlier that I wanted a ring and I fond a very nice sterling silver and whit gold ring with a 2 carat sapphire and diamond chips. I was able to get it for just over $100 so I took and and left it to be resized while we went to our excursion. Went to Romney Manor a sugar plantation that was originally owned by Samuel Jefferson the great great great grandfather of Thomas Jefferson. It has a lovely garden and we also learned how batique fabric is made. The it was off to Brimstone Hill. This is an very oild English fort that is still standing it was built so well. St Kitts was the first British Caribbean colony and was settled in 1623. There were some spectacular views and I learned a bit about how life for a British soldier at a fort was like. Hen back to the port, picked up the ring and back to the ship for the normal afternoon ritual of Lunch, dip in the pool and trivia before dinner. It was Italian night in the dining room tonight. The meal I chose was very cheese centic. Eggplant Parmesan appetizer, Fettuccine Alfredo for pasta course, Scallop and shrimp Gratinee. Two trivia games after and back up here in my state room.
