Hiking in Dominica “I just came back from a 7 day hiking trip to Dominica (not the Dominican Republic). My friend and I had a blast! On the first day, we went on a hike to Middleham Falls. It goes through the rain forest that forms part of the Morrne Trois Pitons National Park. The trial crosses the river a few times before you get to the awesome waterfall. They say it cascades about 200 ft. over a precipice into a large rock basin underneith. We swam in the pool at the base on the waterfall. Great hike!The next day, we went for a hike to Freshwater & Borie Lakes. We went through elfine woodlands and saw a variety of birds. There are over 20 great hikes. Some of the others, we went on were to Trafalgar Falls, Sari-Sari Falls and Emerald Pool. By far the most difficult hike was the one to the "Boiling Lake". It starts at Titou Gorge; goes through the Valley of Desolation then to Boiling Lake. It took all day. It was rough but I'm glad we did it. Anyway, there are a lot of other things to do in Dominica like snorkling, river bathing, lounging in hot springs. We went on an all day cruise on the boat "Carmella". We can recommend a great place in the mountains to stay called Crescent Moon Cabins. They are located right in the middle if the Island where it is convenient to get to all the hiking places. They have a hot tub that is a welcome site after a long hike. The rates are reasonable compared to some of the other places we checked out. The people are friendly and the food is really good! There is so much to tell about that if you want to hear more or need some information - e-mail me- Cathy at mkpjjtmcpmb@yahoo. com” 2:45:19 PM 5/26/02 Don't email her unless you want... “Spam spam spam spam Spam spam spam spam Spam spam spam spam Spam spam spam spam Spam spam spam spam Spam spam spam spam Spam spam spam spam Spam spam spam spam Spam spam spam spam Spam spam spam spam Spam spam spam spam Spam spam spam spam” 5:07:07 PM 5/26/02 “Yep, sounds a little corporate.” 8:41:12 PM 5/26/02 “(whiney old lady voice) "But i dont' like spam"” 11:32:49 PM 5/26/02 “ROTFL!” 10:54:47 PM 5/27/02 “I love lots of the cigars that come from there!!!!!
