Life in Dominica: Part One – Morne Anglais
Thought I’d post a few quick/short posts on life in Dominca, starting with the view from my bedroom window. This looks out at Morne Anglais, one of the tallest mountains in Dominica.
Welcome to this weblog by Roy Jones. Here you'll find the diary of a backpacking trip through Latin America, musings on life, living as an expat in the Caribbean, as well as plans for a bicycle tour through Europe and beyond.

Here are some photos from the plane;
