And we walked into the rain forest on Dominica









And,
we visited a fishing village on the coast.



Finally, we left Dominica and sailed to Bonaire. A nice trip but I didn't get too many (any) photos of the passage. Here is the mooring field in front of the town at Bonaire after we arrived.

What a change from Dominica!!
