 Northeast coastline near Calibishie, Dominica by Martin_S. Travel the entire coastline south, north, east, west, does not matter where, there are beautiful places to see. This pic was taken on the northeastern coastline near Calibishie.
Hell (whoops, sorry, not supposed to use that word here, I actually said HECK), it would be easier to mention spots that did not hold special memories here on Dominica, we would go back again in a second..... Leave a Comment

by steph4867 It's like going back in time when you explore Morne Trois Pitons National Park*, a primordial rain forest. Mists rise gently over lush, dark-green growth, drifting up to blue-green peaks that have earned Dominica the title 'Switzerland of the Caribbean.' Framed by banks of giant ferns, rivers rush and tumble. Trees sprout orchids, green sunlight filters down through trees, and roaring waterfalls create a blue mist. One of the best starting points for a visit to the park is the village of Laudat, 7 miles from Roseau. Deep in the park is the Emerald Pool Trail, a half-mile circuit loop that passes through the forest to a pool with a beautiful waterfall. Downpours are frequent in the rain forest, and at high elevations, cold winds blow. It lies 3 1/2 miles northeast of Pont Casse. Leave a Comment

Dominica has been called a Green Island - that's because it rains a lot, so all the plants stay very green. Some plants thought to be extinct in other places can still be found in Dominica's forests. There are also many flowering plants which are quite colorful, but we didn't see them. That's because cruise ships only come in the winter, and most plants flower in the summer.
When we took the aerial tram I was fascinated by the many shapes and textures of the leaves Leave a Comment

On each trip, we drove through the botanical garden and heard about this school bus. A brand new school bus had been donated to Dominica by the Canadians. Before it could be put into service, a hurricane hit, and it was crushed by a falling babob tree. If you look at the photos of the whole bus, you can see the huge trunk of the tree is still on top of the bus. On the first trip, I didn't get a picture because it was on the other side of the bus. On the second trip, I managed to snap a couple of pictures out of the back of the van. Leave a Comment

 Fond St. Jean on the south coast of Dominica by delphis Thought there are no sandy beaches along this whole coast, there are some beautiful bays and exceptional views. This is Fond St Jean, a great little fishing village on the south coast. If you're lucky, you'll go there just as they are bringing in the fish. Leave a Comment

 Anse De Mai, Dominica by delphis I love the secluded beaches and bays of Dominica's northeast coast. Anse De Mai is an official port of entry, and you may be able to pick up a trip from to the French island of Guadeloupe or Marie Galante. Leave a Comment

 Dominican Policeman by Martin_S. We found the police to be a good source of information and very helpful. Tal and her friend Tyler got a good picture of this policeman in Roseau. Leave a Comment

Go to the Carib Territory. It is another world within this world. When you enter the Carib territory, the people, structure and atmosphere abruptly changes .. it's almost like going back centuries in time.
The Ash Wednesday after-Carnival ceremony in the Carib Territory, where they bury the spirit of Carnival till the next year. Drumming rythmns, an up-hill (steep hill) parade in the street with the coffin. The fire-dancing while the coffins burns. It is out-of-this-world. Leave a Comment
