Dominica November 2005
A 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

Day 5: Whale Watching and Roseau
We drive back down to Roseau to explore the town before whale watching in the afternoon. Maybe it's because I havent seen other Caribbean port towns to compare it to, but Roseau is hardly the pastel colored oasis our guide book describes it as. Its a little too dilapidated and chaotic for an oasis, but it definitely is interesting.
