St. Ktts????

I'm looking at "exotic" Caribbean stops and St Kitts is again on the list. I'm hoping that Jerry says, "sure let's go". We realy liked it there.

I have been doing some research on St Kitt's for our upcoming cruise and wanted to share this with u.....MANY people warn of the "monkey people". Supposedly, St Kitt's is big on monkeys to have ur pic taken with. From what I am hearing, be prepared because they will literally throw them on u,, or ask to use ur camera to take ur pic with them and then want to charge u like $20 or more! If you play with them, same thing....Just make sure that u discuss a price PRIOR to giving them ur camera or anything to avoid being scammed out of a ridiculous amount of $$....I am not going until March of 2012, so I will be anxious to hear about ur experience there....:) Lynn

Lynn - that is very good information - thanks for sharing it with us.

When we were in Ocho Rios we were standing by the falls and a young man passing by offered to take out picture. Once he took the picture he wouldn't give us back our camera til we gave him $10. Lesson learned!!

yes, the monkey thing seems to work the same way as ur experience with the falls pic.....Lynn

We never encountered "Monkey People" when we were at St Kitts. I hear you on how frustrating that can be.

They weren't any more aggressive than any other hawkers, but we did pay to have our daughters picture taken with a monkey. It was wearing pampers!

So what happened did you ever go????????????????????????????

Funnily enough St. Kitts was our least favorite island. We enjoyed the day there - swam, (wear water shoes) but the beach wasn't clean..... it was just OK in our books.

Here is one of the Monkey scammers. He was trying to get me to give him $20 to get my camera back but a police woman stepped in ad made him give it back and then ran them off.
