Tour of the island, Brimstone Fortress and more!

Well, thankfully, no Fiona impact here at St.Kitts, just a bunch of clouds and light rain. Headed down to the lobby to rent a car this morning only to find out they were out of cars. No worries, just had Avis come pick us up within 20 minutes and we got a car from them. Very wierd driving on the left side of the road dodging potholes and goats for most the drive. Still, very nice to get around and see what the island had. Went through some very interesting parts of town, some rather poor parts as well but saw some beautiful countryside and plantations. We stopped off at Brimstone Fortress around lunch time and it was really great, walked around, all the way to the top gun firing deck and took some really great pictures....posted on Lara's Facebook. After that, continued around the island to the south east tip of Cockelshell Bay, couldn't find Shipwrecked, a local restaurant so headed back to hotel for another serving of the Pizza Shack. It was really nice to get out and about, we have the car till tomorrow morning at 11:30am so may get up early and go somewhere, maybe to the capital to look at the shops. Anyway, off to the Royal Grill tonight for dinner, really nice steakhouse here at the hotel. New pics on Lara's Facebook. Zipline tomorrow morning!
