Introducing Basseterre
Keep your distance from the cruise-ship port and plunge into this heady mix of commerce and culture. Nothing in the capital has been overly gussied up, which means that surprises abound. Shops have names like ‘Bold, Black & Beautiful.’ Take time to pick out the surviving colonial buildings with their wide porches; nod to folks lounging on their stoops, Carib in hand. If nothing else, you should buy a local a beer in thanks for not turning feral at the hordes of tubby tourists clogging the streets near the port.
