We left Saturday morning on the free bus ride that the school provides on Saturday morning.
We didn't think our room would be ready yet so we stopped in for coffee and tea at Rituals Coffee. This is basically the closest thing Dominica has to Starbucks.

After walking around a bit we decided to check in with the hotel. Luckily the room was ready!
We were so happy as soon as we walked into the room. It was so clean and comfortable. The bed was like the beds back home (with a box spring and a full mattress) and it was air conditioned. The view was spectacular.
After checking out our room we decided to walk to Dominica's Botanical Gardens. It was only a short walk from the Hotel which wasn't bad with Alex. They had a lot of different trees and shrubbery. Alex was only concerned about one thing though. Seeing the parrots. Dominica has two parrots that are indigenous to the area, the Sisserou and Jaco parrots. The Botanical Gardens has an aviary that houses the parrots. Unfortunately they were hard to see.
Then we saw a sign that said "Jack's Walk". So we decided to hike up the steps and into the rainforest. It was about a 15 minute hike, all uphill. It was hard with Alex so unfortunately, Alex and I didn't make it all the way up. Keith did, and he took a ton of pics. There was a beautiful view of Roseau and the Caribbean sea and there were also big statues of crosses up there too.
Here are some pics from the weekend:
It seems there is a virus going around in Alex's School. The hands feet and mouth virus. A few of the kids have it. Alex hasn't gotten it yet and I hope she doesn't. This week Alex and I are planning to take a trip to the Carib Territory and Emerald Pool.
