Visiting Basseterre, St. Kitts - Options for an ten hour visit!
If the average weather records (
January: 17°C / 33°F) are anything to go by, it's likely to be warmish with the possibility of light showers. 

There's some excellent information about St. Kitts hosted on the SkyViews web site. The maps are superb and the descriptions of various locations and tour options are clear and precise. Well worth a click...

Snip from the SkyViews Main Island MapTour Options
Having already visited St. Kitts earlier this year, we'll probably forgo the organised tours and opt for a walk up to the fort at Brimstone Hill. This location should give us excellent photo opportunities and maybe some long overdue exercise!

Brimstone Hill Fortress is one of the best preserved fortifications in the Caribbean. It is built on top of the 800 ft (267m) Brimstone Hill. From the fortress the view is superb. To the northwest you can see the island of St. Eustatius and, behind that, Saba.
