Let the Train take the Strain

Posted on March 6, 2017April 2, 2022 by bollingerbabe

It was with excitement and anticipation that we woke up early this morning, as today were going to take a ride on the famous St. Kitts Scenic Railway.  Despite two previous visits to St. Kitts (in 2012 on the Ventura and last year on the Adonia) we had not yet experienced this delight, so we…

Today the Ventura docked in the port of Philipsburg, the Dutch capital of St Maarten.  St Martin/Sint Maarten is half French and half Dutch so it is one of the Caribbean’s most interesting and diverse islands.  We had been here once before in 2005, on a cruise on the Arcadia, so instead of going on one of the organised…
