Pictures from the Caribbean Scenic Railway Tour on St. Kitts - February 21, 2018
Wonderful day in St. Kitts on the last port of call on our great week-long Eastern Caribbean Cruise to San Juan, Puerto Rico, St. Maarten, and St. Kitts on the Celebrity Equinox (February 17-24, 2018). While on the island, we took the excellent Caribbean Scenic Railway Tour excursion on our day in St. Kitts. The excursion was described as following: "Take a ride aboard the St. Kitts Scenic Railway, built nearly a century ago to transport sugar cane from the fields to the sugar mill in Basseterre. These days, with air-conditioned cars, the railway provides the most panoramic journey on St. Kitts – one that circles the entire island. Sip a tropical rum punch (or virgin fruit punch) and marvel at views of forested volcanic peaks rising 4,000 feet above sea level. Rumble through rustic villages and island farms on a ride that takes you across deep “ghuts” (canyons) by way of steel bridges. Along the way, your local guide will point out landmarks, including long-abandoned sugar cane plantations where nature has taken over, climbing the old chimneys and windmills." It was a fantastic excursion. I also have pictures from the tour buses on the way to and from the train depot. It was a great way to tour the island and learn about the history of the sugar industry on the island. Pictures taken from St. Kitts on Wednesday February 21, 2018 on a beautiful day in the Caribbean.
