Since we wanted to see more of Dominica, especially the rain forest we decided to go on an island tour. Our guide for the day was KenG (that’s his stage name) who informed us that besides driving a taxi he was a musician! He sang us a little song about the rasta as we drove around. We drove through a lot of the small villages on the island and a lot of banana farms. Dominica is a beautiful island and definitely an unspoiled gem!
Some pictures from us driving around…
We stopped and tried some local fruit by the side of the road. Best bananas and coconuts I’ve ever tried.
KenG stopped and showed us how the bananas are grown. It takes 7 months to grow a bunch and it’s only one bunch per tree. Once the tree has produced its bunch of bananas it needs to be cut down because it starts to rot. We also saw cocoa trees and pineapples!
Our last stop of the day was to see the waterfall at the Emerald Pool. It was a pretty walk through the forest to the waterfall. I don’t know why they had us wear our swimsuits though since the water was only 3ft deep at the maximum!
Oh and just because Kacie is a crazy WSU Cougar’s fan….GO COUGS!
GO COUGS!!!
I was going to use the picture of you in your Cougs bikini but thought it might light the internet on fire. 😉
Definitely a risk ;). I think Ryan’s suit could light it up even more!
