As you journey West from Basseterre, your guide will show you how the recent history and present day reality, coexist with ease on the island. Passing the Cenotaph - a memorial to St Kitts' sons who served in both of the World Wars - you will see the Fort lands area, a garrison, that now houses elegant restaurants, a boutique hotel, private homes, foreign embassies and other diplomatic outposts. In the heart of Basseterre you will see the former slave market (originally known as Pall Mall Square and now known as Independence Square) surrounded by some of the best preserved British and French colonial architecture in the entire Caribbean. Smiling Kenny will also explain to you the significance of the Berkeley Memorial and point out the St. Kitts National Museum, mere minutes away.
