Contrary to what I have always believed, perhaps some countries are better off without an international airport. While this remains a highly controversial political issue with each political canidate promising an international airport only to enter office and realize or reinstate that the country does not have enough money to support such a project, and consequently preventing most tourism...placing this industry aside, Dominica, has not been damaged from the over walked, over traveled well beaten paths tourism brings. The country was absolutely gorgeous. In part at least, due to a lack of an international airport. While getting to and from the island make for adventerous stories all on thier own, the beauty which results from this struggle made the country perhaps one of the most beautiful places I have ever been.
I planned to spend a week or so in the rainforest surrounding the village of Laudat, but had trouble leaving some 15 days later. To explain each gorgeous hike, waterfall or hot-spring would be next to impossible and perhaps sometimes pictures are worth a 1000 words and there is in need to explain each trek. The rainforest was absolutely gorgous. We drank water right from the streams, the wildlife was healthy and plentiful and each breathtaking falls or mountain view left me thinking, this is what the world was like before we as the human race began to slowly destroy it. This part of the trip would be a paradise for anyone who loves being outdoors. For me it cannot be described anyother way.
