📍Dominica 🇩🇲

On Dominica, you won't find those paradise beaches typical of the Caribbean, which I was really longing for, so the first sight of them here was a bit disappointing for me. However, Dominica has so much more to offer besides beaches that, in the end, it didn't bother me at all.

And there are those in the Caribbean and Maldivian style everywhere, but those with black sand not so much. The sand is black because Dominica is an island of volcanic origin. The most interesting beach is "Champagne Beach," where when you dive, you see bubbles in the water, which is the result of volcanic origin and activity. They say the underwater world is fantastic, and Dominica is one of the best world destinations for diving.

These photos were taken on the beach in front of my hostel, the "Roseau Hostel," where I found my new buddy who loves to pose almost as much as I do 😁. My favorite photos are the ones taken at night; the moon was shining so brightly that the scenes looked like they were painted 🌅🌚🌊

📍Dominica 🇩🇲

Weather disasters, most commonly hurricanes, in the Caribbean islands are one of the main reasons why people here are generally poor, even though everything is so expensive. One day you have everything, the next day a hurricane hits you, and you have nothing.

Dominica was seriously affected during Hurricane Maria in 2017, but they have now successfully recovered. Maria is just one of the hurricanes that have terribly disrupted the lives of the island's inhabitants, and among the worst was Hurricane David in 1979, which remains one of the most destructive hurricanes ever to this day. The "remnants" of David have been turned into tourist attractions, so in the 7th photo, you can see the main symbol of the Botanical Gardens in the capital of Dominica, Roseau. The baobab tree fell on a bus (fortunately, it was empty at the time), and no one has ever moved it. Symbolically, this "statue" is called David the Goliath because in this case, David became Goliath; it leveled the city to the ground in 5 hours, and no one expected the hurricane to be so strong.

After visiting the Botanical Gardens, we drove to the southernmost tip of the island and climbed to the viewpoint "Scott's Head." The ascent is easy; you're at the top in 10-15 minutes, and the view is spectacular. Even more beautiful than the combination of greenery and the blue sea is when the colorful houses of Dominica are added. Each one is painted in a different vibrant color.

We visited the Kalinago village and this viewpoint on the same day (I wrote more about the Kalinago village in one of the previous posts), and the taxi driver charged us $ 200 for that trip, so if you're coming by cruise, now you know what you can do in one day.

With this post, I conclude the stories from Dominica, and I continue by boat to the last island on this adventure. 😊

Today I have made an important decision in my life 📢

I quit my job today and going to focus full-time on maintaining the first-ever open-source frontend @lenster.lens 🌸 powered by @lensprotocol 🌿.

Building social media was my dream since 10th grade, I built more than 4 social media in public but all failed, Lenster is my 5th one and it’s going crazy ⚡️.

I believe building in public is key 🔑 to the success of a product.

We have a lot of items queued up in the roadmap, be excited about it 🕺

Collect this post for 2 WMATIC and support Lenster’s development 🙏
