Island Tour

While we had a car, we decided we would go on a little tour of Dominica. Well, at least the portion of Dominica from the airport to our apartment. That side of the island really is beautiful, because the Atlantic Ocean is on that side. The water is a pretty blue color, and there are always waves – our side of the island has the Caribbean Sea, which is relatively calm a majority of the time.

So sit back, relax, and enjoy a little drive through Dominica with Kyle and Andrea…

Our faithful driver for the weekend... the drive from the airport is a lot easier than the trips to Trafalgar Falls and Bense River. I think Kyle was a little relieved to get rid of the car at the end of our trip...

This is the view as you leave the airport - beautiful!

Our big stop on our tour was at Club Dominique. It is a hotel that someone started building, and after financial problems, they threw in the towel and left the island. Kyle always joked that we would buy it one day and retire on the island. Well, we've really only seen it as we zoomed by in a transport. So we thought we'd give it a closer look.

So, Club Dominique wasn't in the greatest condition... but the view from the back balcony is gorgeous!

So after giving up our dreams of spending our older years in Dominica at Club Dominique, we jumped in the car and headed home...

Yes I know, that was a pretty short island tour. But after a weekend full of adventures with my mom here, we were ready to nap the rest of the day away!
