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 |
Most of the shops in Roseau are small, some of them no more than shacks with a few dozen canned goods on the back shelf. A small Chinese population runs a scattering of tourist trinket stores, laundries, and restaurants. The emphasis is on necessities and basics, there simply isn't the purchasing power for more. Many stores have ancient cash registers, scales and display cases.
The restaurants look empty of either food or people, so we explore the streets for a bite to eat. We follow the locals to the favorite places a bakery selling tasty fruit tarts and coconut cakes, a street vendor selling smoked fish sandwiches.
