St. Kitts (2)

About my day so far: This morning, I got up around 7:30 (slowly...) and was out of the room around 8:30. I walked for about 3 (THREE) hours to Cockleshell Bay (you can see that on a map of St. Kitts here):

I took a ton of pictures along the way, as it was all windy roads through the mountains with incredible views.

When I got there, I didn't know quite what to expect. I found a beach bar that was deserted (I think I arrived around 11:30 or so). I took my time ordering and eating, and slowly it filled up. Then I scrambled a hill to get some pictures of the area and of Nevis (the other island).

I came back down and went swimming in my underwear. Then I got stung by something (a jellyfish I figure, but I didn't see it). It felt like getting scalded by a pot of boiling water. I took a picture about 5 - 10 minutes after it happened, and my hand was already white and puffy.

I spent some time on the beach, then hitchhiked back with a van of tourists. In the hotel, I got a sting relief pad, then read online that vinegar works best, so I just went looking for that. It didn't help much, but it doesn't hurt any more so I figure it's ok.

Now I'm going to go snorkeling (I must want to find another jellyfish).
