St. George Anglican Church - Roseau, Dominica

What is special with this stadium for 12000 people? It's used mainly for Cricket and its a gift worth 17 Mio $ from the government of the People's Republic of China to the government and people of the Commonwealth of Dominica.

At least only one cruise ship at the same time can anchor in the small harbour of Roseau, so that the island is not overrun by tourists. On the contrary, on our private tour over the island we met only very few tourists. The PiP is taken from Morne Bruce Viewpoint.

This African Baobab Tree (Adansonia digitata) was blown down on the schoolbus during the Hurrican David on August 29th 1979. Fortunately the bus, which had been arrived newly from Cananda, was empty at the time. The main stem is now 6.4 m in circumfernece and there are two large "branches" with 5.8 m and 3.1 m in girth. The 240 km/h winds destroyed many trees within this area near Roseau. Our funny Taxi driver jumped into the wreck for the photo. Btw. Pepper's Choice is the name of the small Taxi company, which can be highly recommended.

Roseau - Dominica

Approaching the port of Roseau - Dominica. The island is located near Guadeloupe to the northwest and Martinique to the south-southeast. Its area is 750 km² and the highest point is Morne Diablotins at 1447 m in elevation. The population is about 72000. It's not that touristic compared to other Caribbean islands, while nature is fantastic. Dominica's precolonial indigenous inhabitants were the Island Carib people, who are thought to have driven out the previous Arawak population. The Caribs called the island Wai‘tu kubuli, which means "Tall is her body."
