Commonwealth of Dominica
The Commonwealth of Dominica is located on one of the Lesser Antilles. The island of the same name, which this small country occupies, is of volcanic origin. Like the entire archipelago of the Lesser Antilles, it appeared as a result of the collision of the Caribbean Plate with other tectonic formations in the area (with the North American and South American plates). From the east, Dominica is washed by the waters of the Atlantic, and from the west – the Caribbean.
The island has all the conditions for the development of agriculture: it is abundantly covered by rivers and streams, and the mountainous nature of the area gives them swiftness and power (up to 53% of the electricity comes from hydroelectric power stations). Numerous waterfalls form on the elevation. Rainfall is so plentiful that the island supplies surplus fresh water to its neighbors: it is halfway between Puerto Rico and Trinidad and Tobago, and from the north and south it neighbors, Continue reading

Roatan Island “The wrong country was called Honduras …”
Honduras!!! Which of my peers did not dream of visiting here to find out once and for all, this or that country was called Honduras. I won’t say that I dreamed of longed-for Honduras for days and nights, but so often I found myself close, close to its borders and never crossed them, and it was terribly unfair. This whole cruise could easily not have taken place (even despite the huge discount!) If one of the port days did not promise a meeting with Honduras. “Well, finally!” I exclaimed. Well, you understand, huh?
True, for the sake of justice, it must be clarified that the ship was moored not on the Honduran coast, but on the island of Roatan, also geographically owned by Honduras (the similarities ended here), a completely paradise town, included in the list of the most beautiful Caribbean islands, and quite leading positions in the Continue reading
