Sunday hike


Sunday is a day-off in Dominica for most. They spend the whole morning at church and almost all shops are shut down and buses dont run. A few friends and a I spent the day hiking a small mountain on the Southern tip of the island (the orange line on the picture shows most of the hike path). From the top, in the middle of a farmer's pasture with steep cliffs on both side, we could see both the Caribbean sea and the Atlantic ocean. We had packed lunch but didnt have enough belly room to eat it: all the farmers along the way stuffed us with their fresh produce, the best being the proud 97 year old man who offered us each 10 bananas and wouldnt have it if we didnt take them all!
