Dominica November 2005A week-long trip to the mountainous Carribean island of Dominica (pronounced "Dom-in-EEK-a"). Primary rainforest covers over two thirds of the island, making it arguably the most untouched island in the Caribbean. This is not your typical tourist's Caribbean. The best beach is accesible only by rappeling down the side of a cliff, and the loudest nightlife hotspot is 15 feet in the air, in a treehouse surrounded by the cacophony of jungle sounds.Dates of travel: Nov 18, 2005 to Nov 26, 2005 Duration of travel: 8 days Photos taken with Canon Rebel XT 350D |
Relaxing at Papillote
The van drops us off at our lodging, the nearby Papillote Wilderness Retreat and Nature Sanctuary, set among 4 acres of rainforest, complete with a large waterfall, hot mineral pools and meandering walks.To the untrained eye it looks like gorgeous, dripping, untamed jungle, but it is actually a world renowned botanical garden, reputedly the best in the Caribbean. The whole area is landscaped, plants thematically placed to look as they would appear as they would in the wild. The staff member who greets us is helpful and seems genuinely happy for our company. We are grateful for her graciousness.
