St. Eustatius from the St. Kitts Sugar Train

            Between 1912 and 1926, St. Kitts built a railway to transport sugar cane from the sugar plantations to the sugar factory in the capital city of Basseterre.

St. Kitts has converted the 18-mile railway (by adding a 12-mile bus tour) to a 3-hour loop around the island.

Of my many cruise excursions, this is one of my top two or three!

The Dutch island of Sint Eustatius.  It's dominant feature is The Quill, a dormant stratovolcano.
