Far off the beaten
track of tourism, this twin island country is
not only an enchanting step back in time, it’s
a step taken at strolling pace.
The two-mile wide Narrows divide the islands.
Their history and their landscapes unite them
– plantation houses now fine hotels, mementoes
of the marriage of Lord Nelson, mountain peaks
– Mt. Nevis and Liamuiga on St. Kitts, a
tangle of tropical rain forests splashed
with wild orchids, sugar cane hillsides and palm
shaded ribbons of sandy shore.

| Exclusive,
almost reclusive, these are the islands that stopped
the world and got off ...
