Saint Kitts and Nevis Where Saint Kitts and Nevis is an archipelago of Caribbean.
Understand
Once again, as was the custom in the Caribbean, Saint Kitts and Nevis changed hands several times between English and French, which left as a legacy the names of towns in these two countries. On the other hand, the architecture is very Anglo-Saxon (Victorian Style) with driving on the left and especially in the city center of Basseterre: Circus Place the reproduction of the 'Berkeley Memorial Clock'.
There are also several ancient British fortifications which have been lovingly restored and reproducing every detail of the original construction. Saint Kitts and Nevis will be called upon to develop in the near future, in fact many ambitious projects are in progress or at the end of the project, in particular a vast development that can accommodate the largest cruise ships with disembarkation terminals, etc.
There are many tropical birds that we meet very few elsewhere are present in high concentrations in nature and there are also the famous monkeys which, it is said, were introduced by pirates. A brand new road leads to the south-eastern tip of Saint-kitts (Turtlle Beach) where we feel that a certain feverishness in the air will make this part of the island a popular place. Indeed, it is enough to venture a little in the undergrowth with some fruits in hand to soon see oneself surrounded by monkeys coming kindly to meet you to be fed. For the inhabitants of the island, on the other hand, the monkeys are not perceived as such a great joy, because these pretty little hairy beings destroy the crops and snoop wherever they can go.
