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 |
Day 4: Calabishie and Portsmouth
Today is Recover from Boiling Lake Day, and although there are a number of great hikes nearby, weve decided to take it easy. There is a popular waterfall within walking distance (Trafalgar Falls), but a cruise ship is in port, and the Falls are already over-run. So we decide to forgo the local sites and head to our next destination the sea-side village of Calabishie on the northern coast.A leisurely coastal route takes us out of the steamy rainforest and into drier climes. Andrew is relieved, as he was growing tired of the humidity, mosquitoes, and cockroaches. Im a little sad I love the primal lushness, bugs and all.
