But by far, my favorite was their notorious Rum Punch, which can be felt all the way down to the toes. Perfect "to go" accompaniment for the soaking pools..

I must leave Papillote paradise, as I have booked another stay on the southeastern side of the island to see the varying landscapes. I pass "Dominica's Pride," the Kubuli Brewery along the way -- EXCELLENT BEER!!

I get an early start on Sunday morning to avoid any traffic, so I can pull over for photos along the way without honking horns.

I arrive at my third and final destination, "Jungle Bay Eco Lodge." This is my little tree house for the next 3 nights, named "Ginger Lily."

All the cottages at Jungle Bay have a "semi-outdoor" shower, where you can shower among the sights, smells, and sounds of nature.

All cottages, including the furniture are built from indigenous materials from Dominica. They are all strategically placed alongside the mountain to afford maximum exposure to nature while maintaining privacy.

They rub the walls with bay oil, refined in Dominica, a natural insect repellent. It smelled so heavenly that I brought home a bottle!

I took two showers per day in this outdoor shower...more for atmosphere than cleanliness. Best time was during the cool rain showers, as the hot water was plentiful.

I have always wanted to live in a tree house. All that was lacking was wireless connectivity from the hammock.

I wanted to visit Victoria Falls, but you must cross the White River five times to get there, and there is no clear path, so I hired "Israel" to take me there.
