Caribs are, by tradition, expert boat builders, auto oradea and still construct each canoe by hand from a single gommier tree. You can see one of the dugouts under a tree filled with rocks and water to expand the trunk. The Caribs seem to have an innate skill that allows them to sail these canoes long distances even in rough Atlantic waters.
Beyond the seawall, a cruise-ship dock allows passengers to step directly from the ship into the bustle of the city. A noisy, jostling crowd cheerfully browses through crafts, T-shirts, and island-made products at the Old Market across from the dock. A New Market at the north end of Bay Front near the river is a swarm of brightly dressed vendors and buyers auto oradea hovering over produce spread on mats under multicolored umbrellas. Permanent, covered stalls provide additional space, but the outdoor sellers seem to attract the most buyers. Visit the markets on Friday or Saturday mornings for the best selection.
The Beach Resort is on the north end of Soufri re Bay. Two studio and three one-bedroom apartments are on the upper level of the beachfront building and have wonderful views of the Pitons. All units are cheerfully decorated and cooled by ceiling fans; some have a kitchen. A shuttle bus runs between the two properties, but they are within walking distance of each other. Guests have privileges at both. When combined, there are two restaurants, two bars, a swimming pool, a gift boutique, and stables that offer horseback-riding.
Next door, State House (called Government House on older maps) is surrounded by a garden. Before Dominica became auto oradea an independent nation, the house was the residence and offices of the governor and is now used for state receptions and community affairs. The official-looking building to the south is the House of Assembly, constructed in 1811 in Georgian- Colonial auto oradea style on land where the island legislature has met since 1765.
