The islands of St Kitts and Nevis together make one country, with populations of 31,880 and 12,135 and size of 69 and 36 square miles respectively. They are absolutle gourgous though and abound in trails and historic sites to explore. Also they are pretty expensive to visit with all the fees charged to check in and use mandatory mooring on Nevis to protect to environment. So to get our monies worth we decided to stay a week and explore. First the island of Nevis.
