Nevis Nice

Two weeks ago was a 3 day weekend for Andrew, well all of the vet students. So we seized the moment and went to Nevis for the day. Nevis is the sister island to St. Kitts. Formally, the country is referred as the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis. A short 20 minute ferry ride or a 2 hour swim, take your pick, and will arrive in Nevis!

I'm not sure why it took Andrew and me so long to hop over to Nevis for the day, but boy! we sure are happy we did! Our dear friends, Alicia and Austin, were our tour guides for the day.

There is saying around here, "Nevis Nice", and now I finally understand the saying. Nevis was so nice! I mean I get that Nevis is a different island, but it's like Nevis isn't even a part of St. Kitts. The two islands are worlds different. Ok, maybe not worlds different, but they are different!

Hope you enjoy the tour! 


Ok...so we have an IGA Valu Mart here in St. Kitts, but it looks NOTHING like this! We were in awful of the grandeur of the Valu Mart. 

The sections were labeled and there were so many options. Clean, Fresh Options! 

It was as if we had gone to a Food Lion...no, really!
