To Lime or Lymn’: is to relax, hang out or take it easy in Caribbean island slang
We then drove through the center of Roseau (row-zhow), before winding through many small towns and villages along the mountainous coast before arriving at Champagne Bay National Preserve. There were many interesting sites-especially the hillsides covered with brightly colored houses.

hampagne Bay is at the base of some mountainous cliffs that run into the sea. We had to walk down some very steep stairs before reaching a beach area that had a small restaurant and some snorkel renting concessions. One of the scenes from the movie ”Pirates of the Caribbean” was filmed there. Aaron,our snorkel guide supplied us with gear. I had also brought along a plastic water resistant pouch so my phone could go along with me. We tested the water security of the pouch before diving and found that it would work. (It would keep the phone dry but one of its cameras was partially obscured by the case). We swam out to the offshore reef and observed many different kinds of sponges and corals. Aaron would swim down and point them out to us
We then hopped in the car and drove further south to through the town of Soufrieré and its brightly colored homes to Scotts Head, the southernmost point of Dominica. I found more clotheslines along the way for future painting inspiration.
We had lunch at a seaside Restaurant called “Chez Wen”. Zahir, our guide and driver had to call our order in in advance based on what was available that day. I had a luncheon of shrimp cooked in coconut milk.
We sat and watched the locally made fishing boats drive in with their catches of the day. Here are some of their handmade fishing boats.
After lunch we drove up a narrow rock strewn two track road up to the top of Scotts Head. A former volcano, Scotts Head served as a fort during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. It provided a beautiful view of the Scotts Head village and the coastline.
Since it was one of the highest places around, it was also the home of a cell tower that was built behind a cross that had existed on the island
We drove back down the mountainside and headed back to Rosalie Bay the same way we came in. School had let out and it was fun to watch the school children in their colorful uniforms as they were getting our of school for the weekend.
We arrived back at the Resort at dinnertime and after a shower and a meal called it a day.
