Nevis /ˈniːvɪs/ is a small island in the Caribbean Sea that forms part of the inner arc of the Leeward Islands chain of the West Indies. Nevis and the neighbouring island of Saint Kitts constitute one country: the Federation of Saint Kitts and Nevis. Nevis is located near the northern end of the Lesser Antilles archipelago, about 350 km east-southeast of Puerto Rico and 80 km west of Antigua. Its area is 93 square kilometres (36 sq mi) and the capital is Charlestown.
Saint Kitts and Nevis are separated by a shallow 3-kilometre (2 mi) channel known as "The Narrows". Nevis is roughly conical in shape with a volcano known as Nevis Peak at its centre. The island is fringed on its western and northern coastlines by sandy beaches which are composed of a mixture of white coral sand with brown and black sand which is eroded and washed down from the volcanic rocks that make up the island. The gently-sloping coastal plain (1 km (0.62 mi) wide) has natural freshwater springs as well as non-potable volcanic hot springs, especially along the western coast.
The Four Seasons, originally referring to the traditional seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, may refer to:
The West Indies is a region of the Caribbean Basin and North Atlantic Ocean that includes the many islands and island nations of the Antilles and the Lucayan Archipelago.
After the first of the voyages of Christopher Columbus to the Americas, Europeans began to use the term West Indies to differentiate that region from the Indies (South Asia and Southeast Asia).
From the 17th through the 19th century, the European colonial territories of the West Indies were the French West Indies, British West Indies, the Danish West Indies, the Netherlands Antilles (Dutch West Indies), and the Spanish West Indies.
In 1916, Denmark sold the Danish West Indies to the United States for US $25 million in gold, as per the Treaty of the Danish West Indies. The Danish West Indies became an insular area of the US, called the United States Virgin Islands.
Between 1958 and 1962, the United Kingdom reorganised all their West Indies island territories (except the British Virgin Islands and the Bahamas) into the West Indies Federation. They hoped that the Federation would coalesce into a single, independent nation. However, the Federation had limited powers, numerous practical problems, and a lack of popular support; consequently, it was dissolved by the British in 1963, with nine provinces becoming independent sovereign states and four becoming British Overseas Territories.
The island of Nevis is moving to the forefront of the Caribbean's green sector, wiith a drive in both eco-tourism and green energy. Nevis already has an established wind farm, along with a geothermal project with serious potential. The project, by West Indies Power, could potentially provide energy for the entire federation of St Kitts and Nevis. The island, which is anchored by the Four Seasons Resort, is one of the untouched frontiers of the Caribbean. Nevis, which once drove the Caribbean with sugarcane, now hopes its green movement can prove to be a similar economic engine. http://www.caribjournal.com/2011/07/22/nevis-the-caribbeans-greenest-island/

St. Kitts Video Playlist - https://goo.gl/11GI6Z St. Kitts is an awesome island to visit! There are an abundance of cruise ships that sail to St. Kitts but I recommend a vacation rental and staying on-island for a week. There are an abundance of excellent restaurants and the island is not "overly-commercialized" like many Caribbean islands are now. Nevis is also a short car ferry or people ferry ride away. I hope that this video provides you with valuable St. Kitts vacation advice. Please share with others and feel free to ask me any questions that you may have. I'll happily try my best to answer!

I'll just sit back and suffer as time flies by
How can you pull the speck from my face
With that plank in your eye
You're screaming loud
But you can't hear yourself
You're hard inside
You're words are lies
And there is nothing left to believe
I'd sit here a bit longer
If it would do me some good
Would you spit on me time and again yeah
I'm sure you would
[x2]
Maybe a day out in the sun
Would melt your cold heart
But I wouldn't try
I'm sure you'd die
Maybe a day out in the sun
Would melt your cold heart
But I wouldn't try
I'm sure you'd die
Drowning in the puddle that remains
I'd sit here a bit longer
If it would do me some good
Would you spit on me time and again yeah
I'm sure you would
Maybe a day out in the sun
Would melt your cold heart
But I wouldn't try
I'm sure you'd die
Drowning in the puddle that remains
