On our final day at Rosalie Bay we wanted to take one last tour with our guide, Zahir. We jumped in the car and drove about 15 minutes back into the rainforest and took a right down a rocky unpaved road to a place called The Emerald Pool.
When we travel in foreign countries, 9 times out of 10 we don’t rent a car to sightsee. We do this because we don’t want to miss any of the subtle sights that we may see along the road, not to mention driving in formerly British ruled countries (and Japanese) you have the steering wheel on the right and you drive on the left—it can become very confusing especially when you meet a roundabout in the road.
As we settled in to our stay at the Rosalie Bay Eco Resort and Spa in Dominica, We began to explore our surroundings. There were several different clusters of rooms in buildings mimicking old island style homes, but they were more prepared for hurricanes than your typical buildings.
