Dominica, Swimming near a waterfall

Went on tour with the Olea family today. They were going to a big waterfall. I was glad to join. First of all, great with company. And exploring places with kids is, in my opinion, much more fun. Funny perspectives, a pleasant pace... Ole is the big photographer, and is very good with chatting with locals (get information ect.)
Lea is the big organiser. Great when exploring an island with 4 kids and two semi organised helpers (Ole and I, sorry Ole ;)
We went to the waterfall in a collective taxi. They fill it up, and then go. Cheap. 7 Danish kroner (One euro) to drive in approx 25 min.
The waterfall was very great. The most pretty one I've seen. And I've seen a few.
We had luch there, and went for a swim.

After lunch at the waterfall we went to the botanical garden. Most of all to find a schoolbus which had a little accident in a hurricane in 1979... Don't worry. Everyone were outside the bus.

Tonight Jacob is cooking chicken. We get meat a few times a week. But Lea is excellent vegetarian cook, so I don't miss meat at all.




Dominica, evening

After a hot day with lots of experiences, the evening is perfect. The kids are watching a film downstairs. Have just had a nice conversation with the skipper, Ole.
Five minutes ago Ole and his wife went on land for a drink. The two other helpers Jakob and Henning have been on a tour all day. They'll be here shortly. They might join me for a rum. Having half an hour on deck on your own is also nice though.
My clothes are hanging everywhere. I found local laundry facilities. Don't think they see many tourist there. Quite alot of people fund me very interesting, so had lots of little chats. English is spoken here, so very nice to be able to explain myself.
