Cruising - Part 2

Here we are two weeks home, and I'm just doing part 2, I guess it's been a busy two weeks for us.

I left off with getting ready to pull into St. Kitts.

Our stop on the island included a visit to the Caribelle Batik factory at Romney Manor.

Now it's time to make our own batik ~

Soaking in a bath after some tie dying

Using a hot copper chop and wax to stamp her design

Boiling pots ~ that is their lunch on top of the pots, they don't do microwaves

Muffin was very pleased with her design

Andrew was helping out holding down to make the stamping easier

I would love to tell you these were our finished projects but they were still wet from their time in the dye bath with Mary (click on the link above and you can read about her)

Drying on the line after spending some time in their dye pots.

We were lucky that our tour bus driver was very accommodating when he said to ask him anything and Leslee asked if he could show us where the Atlantic and the Caribbean meet. Sheldon gave us an extra ride around the island to show us a view that we will not forget, makes us want to go and spend more time on the island.

The Atlantic is on the left, the Caribbean on the right. Check
our the color difference.

It was soon time to head back to our ship and head out to sea ~

Our ship is the one on the right ~ it's amazing how big these vessels are.

Goodbye St. Kitts, till we meet again.

After a full day out and about it was time to head to the pool to cool off ~ if only it were that easy ~ the pools were packed, but we did manage a little time in the sun with a refreshing mudslide

We all headed back to our staterooms and showered for dinner in the dining room ~

Until Next Time
