Dominica, mountain paradise!

Awesome island with 9 active volcanoes.  Also one of the poorest countries in the Caribbean dependent on tourism (mostly cruise ships) ... a nature lover's paradise!  We enjoyed the mountains, jungle, bird walks, waterfalls, gorges and rivers.  Many scenes from Pirates of the Caribbean was also filmed here.  The Kalinago people (indigenous) with their traditional canoe making... you can imagine the effect of the arrival of Columbus' fleet around 1500 as depicted in the wall of this church.  We want to return to Dominica to hike a segment of the national Waitukubuli trail.
