I love the windswept trees and bushes lining the eastern coast. Dominica is right in the heart of Hurricane Alley, and the vegetation here is built to withstand it. The last direct hit was 1995, but it was Hurricane David in 1979 that did the most damage - 145mph winds killed 56 people and left 75% of the island homeless.
Absolutely fabulous island of Dominica. Do not mix up with Dominicana.
30 minute bus ride from the capital, then a 10 minute hike will get you here.

Although his bakery stand is new, Daniel Frederick still employs traditional techniques in crafting his delicious cassava bread. Fresh ground manioc is mixed with coconut, sugar and water to form a dense, flat bread similar to a thick pancake. The coconut and sugar add a touch of sweetness that makes this bread addictive. The bakery is over in the Kalinago Territory on the east coast, so it's a bit of a trip if you're staying in Roseau. But if you're visiting the Kalinago Village it's worth a stop, and you can also hit it up on your way to/from the airport. I'm not sure that I pinned it just right, but any of the locals could quickly point it out.
