Roseau to Portsmouth,
Dominica
 As soon as we arrived in Roseau at four, we went
off with Nimue to check in with Customs and Immigration. Then off in search of
Josie (the lady that when I'm black enough will adopt me), she was out but
we saw my sister to be, Kerdisha, who phoned Josie, so at least we spoke. Then a
wander round the town - completely empty and closed up as a cruise ship was just
leaving. Somehow the city seemed to be a little more threadbare than we
remembered. Tomorrow being Sunday - and Reggae Night in Portsmouth we decided to
go. Of course we left and it rained.

above us looks like work in progress - must go visit.
  Soon as we were settled we went into town. My favourite

Portsmouth has lost none of its charm despite a new fishing dock
and lots of building going on. The people are still our favourite in the whole
of the Caribbean. Sadly, no BBQ / reggae night as Big Papa has had a bit of a
fall out with the boat boys. They are building a new place just down the beach
from the Purple Turtle. We went for a burger and Petroline served us as usual.
PG the next time we are back will be post
circumnavigation.
ALL IN ALL LOVE BEING
BACK
