Nevis
A cloud-shrouded volcanic peak stands sentinel over the tiny island of Nevis, its slopes descending to the turquoise sea covered with thick, exotic rainforest and swathes of now un-tilled sugar plantations. The days of prosperity ended for Nevis in the 18th Century, the plantation homesteads left to rot after the abolition of slavery, but todaymore visitors seeking serenity and the glory of nature come to holiday in Nevis, bringing a livelihood for the locals.
