Dominica, Nature Island of the Caribbean


Though not as well known as it ought to be, Dominica is a tropical paradise. There is no better place to relax, or enjoy nature's beauties and peculiarities.



For the first part of our visit to the island, we stayed at Springfield Plantation, overlooking the capital, Roseau.


Soufriere
Soufriere is a fishing village at the bottom of the island, near Scott's Head.


bougainvillea and poinsettia
When we stopped at the Carib village, where the indigenous people still live, we saw this vivid mass of bougainvillea and poinsettia growing together.

The agouti is a mammal native to Dominica. He looked rather cross, perhaps because he lived in a big wooden box instead of the rain forest..
