... leaving in their path a few pirates vacation packages and inspired pirate games and discoveries.


Dominica is about discovery. Much of its 360 rivers, rainforest and mountains are still unexplored. Sightseeing, trekking, hiking, diving is among the best in the Caribbean. But Dominica's ...

... fairly cheap hotel for $86 in San Juan. Not the "american" hotel that I had been fantasizing about, but not $130 either. So I was tired and hungry, 8:30pm, I got to a restaurant and eat some puero rican food. On the way back, I stumble and completely wipe out on the street. Serious road rash on my leg, elbow and hand. bleeding. After 9 days of slipping in waterfalls, bizarre skin ailments, etc. i never actually cut myself, except when i ...

... the ecology was pretty much the edge of civilization. I went by Steve again last night and drove by Jem to say goodbye. Low and behold, my sandals came back. They had been put in the container (Steve's restaurant). Right now I'm sitting in my first bit of AC at the airport and it's quite nice. Steve brought me a "pancake" this morning. It was more like a crepe ...

... over to the Champagne Reef. Our friends wanted the reef and so we went there - a little rough for me, so we just relaxed at the beach bar there. For the Emerald Pool there was a $5 entry fee, Champagne Reef $2.

There are several other hikes involving waterfalls that look amazing. I'd definitely recommend hiring a cab driver for your own and exploring this island all day. Beautiful, amazing scenery and great people.

... unevenly paved in some places and the landscape mountainous. We made our way to our first stop to view one of the Caribbean's most picturesque waterfalls, the Trafalgar Falls. These twin falls cascade into a deep pool and are surrounded by forest, lush ferns and tropical foliage.

Since it was still raining as we stepped out of the van, umbrellas were opened and raincoats put on. The 15 minute walk to ...

Getting going in the morning Our excursion was set to leave at 9:00 AM so I was up early again...6:50. I order breakfast in the room at it was delivered around 7:30, and I went up to the Computer center around 8:00 to post yesterdays blog. We went down to meet the group for our tour around 8:45ish. Dad and Kathy were up late last night, they went back out after I came back to my room so I am not sure how they were feeling. Kathy seemed to be ...

Here we are in Dominica - my favourite island in the Caribbean. It is the most beautiful place that I have ever visited! Since on the last cruise we went on the Aerial Tram ride through the rainforest, we booked a different tour this time - Ti Tou Gorge and Hot Springs Tour. We got to port at around 9:00am and met our tour guides outside at the dock.

Our driver, Magline was great at navigating through the ...

... et fougères géantes se mêlent dans une palette inimaginable. Notre premier arrêt est aux chutes Trafalgar (entrée au parc national 2$ pp). Un sentier assez rudimentaire de terre battue monte et descend jusqu'à ce que nous arrivions à ces deux chutes magnifiques, logées au fond de cette forêt si dense. La marche était un peu difficile pour s'y rendre, mais ça en valait la peine! Un peu plus loin que le belvédère d'observation, on peut descendre encore un ...
