This article is part of the “Rum the World Tour” by Laura (but call her LOLO!), who just embarked on a Rum trip around the world and is sharing her experience on her blog<\/a> and LegendaryTrips<\/a>!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Previous articles: [codepeople-post-map]<\/p>\n Hi LegendaryTrippers,<\/p>\n Hope you are doing as good as I’m doing! Following my time in Saint Lucia<\/a>, I stopped two weeks in La Martinique<\/a> to visit all the distilleries and it was AWESOME… Today, however, I am not going to tell you about my trip in La Martinique but about my 5th stop, Dominica<\/a>, which is a little less known but really beautiful and without doubt the wildest Caribbean island I\u2019ve seen!<\/p>\n Dominica is a small island between La Martinique and La Guadeloupe, surrounded by the Caribbean sea and the Atlantic ocean. No direct flight with Europe and the US explains the lower number of tourists on the island. To get there, I jumped in a ferry in Fort de France direct to Roseau<\/a>, the capital city of Dominica. Arrived on the harbour, I stopped\u00a0in a caf\u00e9 to get a fresh juice and to decide where I wanted to go! My instinct brought me to the very south of the island, in Soufri\u00e8re<\/a>, where… you can apparently enjoy a champagne bath in the sea! No, no, no… do not dream, the Caribbean sea is not filled with Champagne around Dominica, but due to the strong volcanic activity there are some spots in the south of the island (Soufri\u00e8re and Champagne reefs) where bubbles gently pop out of the sea and give you the feeling of swimming in a glass of champagne! Not bad, huh!<\/p>\n The road that goes from Roseau to Soufri\u00e8re is absolutely gorgeous and you wish it never ends\u2026 But it does! I finally arrived in my cottage, La Bou Cottage<\/a>, which is a piece of paradise at the end of the road, just before the beginning of WTN trail*<\/a>. This cottage is run by Mabel and Arent, a very nice couple who helped me a lot and shared precious pieces of advice during my stay in Dominica. The cottage is really disconnected from the world, electricity comes from solar panels and water from the sky. It has a beautiful garden with an outdoor bbq, a fireplace, a bungalow looking like a bird nest and an outside shower! Last but not least, the house is truly charming!<\/p>\n
