Dominica - a proud nation with lot's of infrastructure building to do



I had the pleasure to participate in a arranged excursion to the rain forest that is one of the protected sites of UNESCO. My kids had the chance to swim in a pond that was directly connected to a waterfall.

We also had a chance to experience a song and dance performance by native young adults in the middle of the rain forest.

So the question that comes to my mind after this visit.... The people is very proud of its inheritance, which is obviously a foundation for larger success. Do I believe this old commonwealth country is there yet...? No, with a big no... After the tour, we were thinking of walking around the town of Rose, but this was dissrupted very quickly as we were approached by so many beggars and other people that were in the need of money... The cruise ship arrives here once a week on low season (which we are in now) and four times during the high season.

Did we experience the rain.... yes... It was raining on and off.... and mist everywhere...

All of the houses are built of concrete, not wood, and the explanation of this is the hurricanes that visits the area every now and then...

Would I stay here for a vacation for several days... no... But I loved to visit and see the friendliness of people... It is all about our framework. of consiouness... What we do not know about.... we can not dream or worry of....

Overall, good experience...
