DAY 5 - 2nd January

St Kitts

Dennis in front of two

12 foot stilted dancers

We arrived at St Kitts on the day of their annual carnival which was eye opening and deafening

 

 

The whole town seemed to have dressed up .... but the costumes were better than the organisation!  The parade took several hours to assemble, was extremely colourful and noisy, but disappeared to no where in minutes!!!

 

 

The evening continued with an informal dinner followed by a South Sea's Party

Maciek advised us on the best food....

We commenced dining in style....

 

And wining in style....

But as we drank even more wine...

It started to have strange effects (on some people at any rate)...

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some wanted to be on all the photos...

After dinner we retired to the deck for dancing and partying....

The girls especially went wild ....

(For the photographer!)

At midnight we retired to the "Wheel Tappers & Shunters"

to celebrate Geoffs coming of age!

(We weren't sure what age except that it was older than the rest of us - i.e.bloody old!!!)

Chris & Geoff celebrating with a cocktail!

The party group (less two young lovers who had sloped off to bed!)

Geoff bought the cocktails - including the biggest "Bloody Mary" in the world for Les

And then to bed in the cupboard!
