Voyage to Nevis, Part 4


The Nevis Hot Springs are on the road south of Charlestown, on the way to Montpelier. This last is a beautifully renovated plantation where we intended to have a fancy lunch.

Les drove with WW up front with him to navigate. Anthea and I were in the back to do what Les calls “nagivate”.

At the hot spring, Anthea and WW changed into bathing gear. Together they made their way down the steps to the very hot water from the spring. The water is so hot that a maximum of 15 minutes is the recommended limit for immersion. A German chap who is camping around the islands was having a lovely soak. He and WW had a long chat. Later a local woman joined us, also willing to have a good natter. The Nevisians are really lovely, friendly, laid-back people (taxi drivers excepted).


Getting immersed is done slowly, one step at a time.

After her soak, Anthea fairly leapt into the car, the warmth had so loosened her up. All aboard, we set off for Montpelier.
