... of towering mountains and cascading rivers. Stepping back in time, you are miles away from the modern world and its fast pace, time moves slowly in Dominica and that is the way Dominicans like it.<br><br>see full story at BookingsDominica travelogue <br><br>http://bookingsdominica.com/dom inica-nature-island.cfm<br>

Well, yesterday was an annoying day. LIAT doesn't tell you that they are making 2-3 stops, so what was a 1.5 hour flight became a 5 hour flight. ON the plane, I learned that my new beautiful silver bracelet, which cost me $180 EC, or $60 US, really should have cost $160 EC for 2 (they are supposed to come in pairs). That's what I get for rushing around and for buying at stupid duty free, and not from a local. Ok, 3rd annoying thing. Got ...

I'm leaving today. I'm a mixture of happy and sad. I got a ride to the airport with the american couple which saved me $70 US. Yesterday was fairly uneventful. Got back on the bus from Roseau. Getting around has been an intricate system of connections. Some people know who I am before I get there because of staying with the Grand Fond families. That village was remote ...

... of my time here making sure my physical needs are met. Although the food I brought was the heaviest of my cargo, it has been necessary. This is no resort life. This island, particularly the part I am on, is pretty uninhabitated. I caught a ride aroudn with Jem today. Otherwise I haven't been doing much. I've decided on one more day left to my own devices, then I am doing an expensive day on Monday. $200 US. Then I'm going to rent a car for 2-4 days. I absolutely do not want to ...

... it's incredibly worth it! I recommend renting one of the lifejackets or noodles if you're not a strong swimmer, as the current can be strong. However, it's not a long swim to the end. The waterfall at the end of the gorge is breathtaking...We're shooting ourselves every day, since no one brought their water cameras...but that scene will stay with us.<br><br>Afterwards we had the choice of going to Trafalgar falls or ...

... to a wonderful blue sky. It was as if a veil was being lifted from over us once we were stepping out of the island's mysterious grip! <br><br>Dominica is an island full of mystery which was quite captivating and interesting visiting. All of its unspoiled tropical forests, rainforest, foliage, lush ferns and falls made it an island that I am not about to forget soon. <br><br>Thankful for unspoiled forests.<br><br>Mo<br>

... since we lasted visited Dominica). I did end up purchasing some locally made Dominican coffee beans and some Dominica guava jam. <br><br> Back on board and to our room! I went and got myself a coffee and a hot chocolate for Poolie, as well as some tasty treats from the buffet to enjoy sitting out on the balcony. More to write later! <br><br>P.S. I cannot rave enough about the Aquapacs - I'll write about them later on this blog ...

... change planes in Antigua but first the plane had a stop in St Kitts. Everything went fine until I landed in Antigua. Every person on that plane and two others planes arriving at the same time started pushing each other to get first through the customs. I had to start to do the same or I would have still been there when the next plane arrived. There is no other way of getting through but every woman or man for himself or herself. And let me tell you the women are harder to get ...

... es ist schon ein komisches Gefühl bei 30 Grad Weihnachten zu feiern... Das ganze wurde dann mit einer besonderen Weihnachtsshow abgerundet. Auch an die Crew wurde hier gedacht und wir hatten ein wunderschönes Weihnachtsabendessen in der Kantine gerichtet bekommen. Alles war festlich dekoriert und gab typisch englische Weihnachtsgerichte, wie Christmas Pudding oder Pute. Alles in allem war ein einmaliges Erlebnis aber nichts desto trotz habe ich ...

... called Kubuli and advertised everywhere as - it is Kubuli country- tasted rather weak and I believe Bo was more than happy to have a different one after 2 weeks of Kubuli...I am not sure I could say the same about my Pina Coladas, they were good!!!<br><br> Dominica is not exactly area for beaches, as I ...
