Went out whale and dolphin watching with a local tour boat company. Saw a lot of dolphins.  The guide said there were about 200 in the pods.

Saw two of the four species here, Fraser and Spotted dolphins. The two species were together hunting for small fishes, including flying fish, which were seen today.

The outing lasted three hours and cost $US US. Worth it.

Cheers

Around 5 PM, walked back down this hill to find a restaurant for dinner. It’s Sunday and lot of places are closed and the two cruise ships are pulling out which makes the locals say, That’s it. Let’s go home.

But, one little place stayed open, West Bridge Restaurant & Bar near the bus terminal.

Wasn’t much freshly cooked food but the lady said a chicken was about 20 minutes from being ready. So, I had a beer, a rum drink, another rum drink, a water and over an hour later my plate of chicken,  rice, macaroni and cheese finally made it to my table along with another beer, a Kubuli lager from here in Dominica.

It was a tasty dinner. The plate and all my drinks came to 53 EC (Eastern Caribbean dollars). That’s about $21 US.

After paying I was approached by two guys  who offered their service as taxi drivers.  I wanted a taxi because I didn’t want to walk back up the 400 ft hill to my Airbnb.

So, I said I was interested then one guy went somewhere to put his shirt on. He returned and the two guys were arguing about who was going to take me.

I asked the guy who had just gone for his shirt, “Are you okay?” “No, you’re not”, I told him. He was drunk or high.

Then, I looked at the other guy who was swaying a bit and I said, “And, you’re worse.”

I told them thanks but no thanks and I started walking back. That hill is a butt kicker but made it back to my place.

Cheers
