Dominica Day 4

Some roots...

I just love this kind of forest!

It's like a huge botanical garden

Whatever the estimated walking time was: we about doubled it

Who can blame us in a place like this???

We were stunned by the beauty of it

Finally arrived


Just before we were leaving, the sun made an appearance

Next stop: Freshwater lake
19°C, storm and hot chocolate


And an overenthusiastic parking lot

Grand finale of the day: Trafalgar falls - absolutely stunning!



Didn't want to leave till it was getting too dark for pictures


Dominica Day 2 & 3

Day 2: Sightseeing with Bernard south of Rosseau

That's the main road

Caribbean living


...with just a few tiny hazards...

Scotts Head - left side: atlantic ocean, right side: caribbean sea
 
Für Dominik: Frangipani caterpillars, always show up in a crowd

Think that's enough?



 Day 3


In the morning: snorkeling at champagne reef

Cold bubbles close to the coast and a nice coral reef
Parrot fish in the whirlpool



In the afternoon: Whalewatching in the best area and the best season for it and all we saw was dolphins...





Dominica Day 1

Someone lost an ambulance?

After 3 wrong turns, we finally found the right trek

Valley of desolation - a valley bubbling with hot sulphur springs

The view was worth the ridiculous climb

Have to admit, I almost gave up - muddy staircase from hell!

Glad I made it, terrified to go the same way back...

Hot water, gusty wind

Boiling lake (made an appearance in pirates of the carribbean)
