Day Two in St Kitts – September 23, 2013

I’m not sure what the exact definition of “foodie” is, but we may be getting close.  Day two seemed to revolve around food events starting with a Welcome to St. Kitts continental breakfast in a beautiful shady grassy spot close to the beach.  Fresh pastries and fruit are a great way to start a foodie’s day.  We took a leisurely stroll around the property to see where everything is and what is available to us to use.  Then in the pool for another water aerobics class.  This time the class was led by “Ice” an instructor I seem to remember from another trip here.  I have said it to anyone who will listen that the major difference between this island and all the other is the people.  Everyone of them is sincerely nice and they all have nicknames.  I think we should get nicknames before we leave.

Lunch was back to the Bohemia poolside restaurant.  Did I mention they make incredible smoothies?  Then to the quiet pool for reading, resting, and relaxation while we contemplated our dinner.  This trip all seven on property restaurants are open and several of them have special events.  Last night the Blu Restaurant had a Caribbean Lobster and Steel Band event.  I don’t think I have ever had Caribbean lobster but its was sweeter meat than Maine lobster.  Before the main course, there was a salad/appetizer bar that was not only extensive but delicious.  The two standout items for me were the banana croutons and mango caesar dressing.  After dinner, we had to make room for the dessert bar with guava creme brulee’, mango cheese cake, blackberry ice cream, and almond chocolate torte.  Life on this island is so taxing!
