THREE DAYS IN PORTSMOUTH, DOMINICA

Many people have said that their stop over in Dominica was their best Caribbean experience. As islands go this one is very wet, fertile and forested. The highlight is a trip up the Indian River.

However we noticed another side of Dominica. It's so disorganized that they don't even have trash collection service. They all burn their trash, including plastics, on street corners and public ground. The people are very nice but poor, except a few who are in the tourism business. This island needs investment in environmental issues. Compared to French islands next door (Martinique and Guadaloupe) Dominica is very far behind.
