100+ things to do in Dominica - #11

90. Talk to local people
You will meet friendly Dominicans everywhere. A greeting of "Okay? Alright!" from you will be returned with a smile and more! Dominicans are delighted to share their country with you.

91. Enquire about investment opportunities
Why not consider purchasing a property or starting a business! Several real estate companies can take care of your property needs. The National Development Corporation offers duty-free concessions for prospective investments. The AID Bank can also assist you with your business interests

92. Karaoke in Roseau
After relaxing it's time to sing! On Fridays go to the Garraway Hotel or The Courtyard and choose from a wide variety of songs.

93. Hear Jazz, Reggae and local music at Symes Zee's
Drop by Symes Zee's after 9pm on Thursdays and enjoy some West Indian "jazz". You'll like the casual atmosphere, plentiful drinks and ample bar snacks. You can dance too!

94. Play Quiz
Test your trivia knowledge on Wednesday nights at the Cornerhouse's Green Flash Grill 2 miles south of Roseau in Loubiere.

95. BBQ and steelband
Monday evenings at Fort Young Hotel are ideal for a BBQ meal and some music on the terrace. It it rains, you won't get wet under the open roof. You can gaze out to sea and watch for falling stars.
96. Pizza Day at Chez Doudou
Enjoy a lazy afternoon siesta on the beach at East Carib Dive/Chez la Doudou near Salisbury. Walk down 69 steps to this secluded beach - a perfect place for a stroll! Refresh with cool salads and other foods of European origin with a local twist. Have ice cold drinks and soak up the sun.

97. Go shopping
Good deals abound in Roseau. Choose from a wide selection of quality items around town. Please note that many businesses are closed on Sundays.

98. Go beaching
Beaches are the attraction on the Northeast coast. You may have a short walk or hike to access most of them. Be aware of strong surf and the possibility of an undertow. Proceed with caution. Batibou Beach near Hampstead is a popular spot. South of the quaint village of Calibishie are Hodges and Woodford Hill beaches. Others include Pointe Baptiste, and Turtle Bay.

99. Savor island flavors
Restaurants and snackettes abound around the island. Eat at a different spot and experience a different food every day.

100. Dine by a tropical garden
Papillote Wilderness Retreat has Creole food by a 4-acre tropical garden with some hot mineral pools.

101. Come back for more
A model Carib Village is presently under construction at Crayfish River. Traditional buildings and opportuunities to view Native craftspeople at work are in the plans. As a living musuem, it will showcase the traaditional Carib way of life. The Waitukubuli National Trail is being developed to link many communities and offer hiking enthusiasts extensive treks from the north to the south of Dominica. The estimated length of the entire trail is 115 miles.

That concludes the list of 100+ things to do in Dominica. I hope you enjoyed the tour and please plan to visit us sometime. It will be worth it. Come back tomorrow and subsequent days for other posts about Dominica.
