Carib Culture

       

           Today we had a 0600 wake-up for a trip to see and experience Carib culture in Dominica. So far, it’s been my favorite port. Dominica has a nice city, a cool fruit market and the infamous boiling lake hike. We went ashore and climbed into our vans, which took us to numerous places. The first stop was a grapefruit farm. We loaded up on some fruit for the ship, and then continued on to a local beach to stretch our legs after a long drive. Then we went up a mountain to experience some Carib culture.

            As our van blasted Bob Marley music with very high base but great sound quality, we stopped at a small basket weaving shop and I got a few gifts for my family. We continued to drive through the area and sampled homemade cassava bread. Next we went to a local home to taste homemade chocolate. Finally, we went to a local pool for swim call.
