Very different from socialite Barbados, or glitzy St Barts, 40 miles away, Nevis is a romantic island, dominated by a verdant, mist-shrouded volcano. A large number of donkeys are present on the island. They are used mainly for riding and transport, however, many are now wild. Wild donkeys roam the ruins of sugar estates, while vervet monkeys inhabit once-magnificent houses, abandoned by the British after the decline of the sugar industry in the 19th century.
