It's also worth taking a tour of the Wingfield Estate - a sugar plantation owned by Thomas Jefferson's ancestors. Dating back to the mid-1600s, the ruins - which include an aqueduct, mill house, and subterranean tunnel - paint a powerful picture of what life would have been like for the slaves that worked here.

Once known as Sugar City, St. Kitts was a large sugar producer and exporter. It was one of the last West Indes islands to stop production as the sugar industry ran its course and the final Sugar Mill was shut down in 2005. Tourism has taken over as the main economy of the island and St. Kitts is fast becoming a favourite tourist hot spot.

The St. Kitts and Nevis government runs the only sugar mill on the island and is losing millions of dollars to keep it in operation. Next year, they'll close the sugar factory and St. Kitts will not grow sugar cane anymore. We're glad we were able to see these cane fields before they are gone forever.

We stopped at a hotel called the Golden Lemon which is located at a point on the NW coast where the Caribbean and Atlantic Seas meet.
