I recently found out that Edward I... was my 21st great grandfather. I guess I'll have to visit Caernarfon Castle. It is near Bangor where my son attended law school, so I have two reasons to visit Wales. I hope I have better weather than you!
Breathing a Sigh of Relief As excited as I am to read each and every one of your intertwining blogs, I always look forward to the one that signals the end of another journey. After all these years of traveling alone, I am always amazed at your enthusiasm, bravery and preserverance no matter what your travels may bring. Good job Jenn on yet another successful summer trip and glad your home safe and sound....Love you lots......Mom
I'll give it a try... My plan is to take the ferry from island to island and walk around each island on a coastal road, or at least a portion as the larger islands are much further around. So I might just take a bus for most sections. Do they have buses that circumnavigate each island? I want to see what island life is like, although for accommodations I do not want to rough ti like you did. Like you, I need my sleep!
Buses St Lucia and I think Dominica both have buses that are easy to use to get all around. Martinique and Guadeloupe, less so. you may be able to do what you'd like, but I'm not quite sure.
Dominica I enjoyed my two weeks in Dominica but I was a tourits and went diving. I did canoe the river and go to the waterfalls. It is called the Garden Isle of the Caribbean. Hopefully, the ceremony worked and he quit smoking.
Living in the wild Medicine Man made all of us think we'd love field work. Hollywood can make boring work romantic. Life is full of experiences and we won't love all of them but it is worth trying.
A very fascinating place We visited Boiling Lake back in 1998 or so and we absolutely loved it. It is a fascinating place and the hike to get there is great too. /Ake
Still smiling I've walked among fumeroles in Java, New Zealand, Bolivia and Chile which is far too few in my reckoning. Long sweaty hike for you but with pics like this these will be memories for the ages. Sounds and looks wonderful. Sad part is you missed out on a smoothie and a decent piece of cake. Great memories often do not have sugar icing!
Happy belated birthday! If nothing else you came to the realization that field work is not for you. Nor would it be for me. And given the rough ferry crossings and what appears to be unappealing islands, I may take that off my bucket list and just take a cruise instead.
Give it a try Hi Bob. I wouldn't take the islands off your list - I think they are worth visiting. The people are so kind, and the islands are beautiful. The issues I had were work-related. And the ferry crossings were fine once I took some seasickness meds.
