Here are some other pics of our trip with me heartie and the other swabbies. The gentleman in the back, Antwan, was our forest guide and was very knowledgable about all the mysteries of the forest. The shot of the river below was from the cable bridge we were walking across. A 300ft drop from the bridge...no short drop by any means. And for all you swabby lovers out there, Pirates of the Caribbean 2 and 3 were filmed in that gorge below. 

All aboard the SS rainforest mates

Here are some pics of our tour of Dominica's rainforest riding on an aerial tram. This seaworthy monkey cage took us under the rainforest's canopy, and here is some of the local scenery we saw. The cable bridge was the plank we walked to get to the tran that went above the rainforest. 

Dinner Time Lads

Looks like snipper here couldn't escape the sharp point of me landlady's spear. Not even her claws could protect her this time 'mates. Lucy (the Landlady) insists that these landlovers can snip off your appendiges...makes you want to wear your mittens, eh mates? 

Stop 4: Scott's Head

Well 'mates, even the angriest of seas have to get along sometime, and hear at Scott's Head, the Atlantic Ocean meets the Caribbean Sea. Bree and I swam with the mermaids in the Caribbean portion. I swam out far enough to see the ocean shelf drop off into the abyss of Davie Jone's locker. I actually opened eyes and could see to the bottom (about 40 feet). Although the salt had me eyes crying for help.

Stop 3: Grub Time you limey's

On the way to lunch we stopped by to see a bus that was smashed by this tree during a devastating hurricane that passed through Dominica in 1979. The tree still grows to this day. And don't worry you swabby's, no littlun's were hurt or killed. The next pic is of a chruch across from the restaraunt we stopped at.

Stop 2: Trafalgar Falls

Amicolola has nothin' on these twin falls me 'mates. A little 10 minute hike and your there. You may even find a land-lovin critter like me friend here 'snippers' the land crab. The pics here are of 2 falls located near eachother.

First Stop...Freshwater Lake

Aye, they say Nesse lurks through these waters, and if your lucky mates, she may come up to greet ya'. This is fresh water lake. It is formed in the crater of an inactive volcano. You actually drive down into the volcano to get there. And though you land-lovers think the Caribbean is hot and all sun, this is at one of the highest points in Dominica, and you better bring your sweaters and mittens you swabby's. Me heartie was a bit cold in her "outdoor gear"...aye.

Island Tour of Dominica

For all you land-lover's out there who are contemplating to come see us, maybe these pics of our island tour will help push you in the right direction. Enjoy you Swashbuckler's. Free of charge (at least taken out of our tuition money), we took a complimentary tour of the island, at least the west side of it. We spent half of our time in the bus climbing up small turns on the mountain side, but it was pretty cool to see some of the hot spots of the "Nature Island of the Caribbean." Here is me heartie with me two swabby's (Sadie was unfortunately home with the flu)
