Dominica - March 17, 2009
Having enjoyed hiking up the hill overlooking Roseau on a previous visit to Dominica, this time we decided to walk south on the road parallel to the waterfront. The narrow streets and sidewalks and considerable traffic made for a less than liesurely stroll but we were rewarded with views of colourful little houses and entertaining signage.
In the afternoon we took a catamaran excursion to the champagne bubbles south of Roseau. The highlight of our guided snorkelling tour was spotting a turtle as we were swimming back to the catamaran.
