    About Dominica

    Written by !Oh My Dominica   
    Dominica is an island for travellers and adventurers rather than for those who like their pleasures manicured and tamed. As a visitor to Dominica, one participates in the life of the island and enjoys its natural gifts of sea, river and mountains as the natives do, whether on foot, by bus, car or in the air. In this way each new visit becomes a personal discovery rather than a programmed slot on a package itinerary. On Dominica, there is time to compare your impressions with those of the chroniclers who have been this way before.

    Looking to catch images of Dominica and its beauty? Then keep watching the Thumbs to your right! Dominica lies almost in the centre of the arc of islands known as the Lesser Antilles. This arc extends from the Trinidad-Grenada Passage in the south up to the Anegada Passage between the Virgin islands and Anguilla. These islands of the Lesser Antilles are of volcanic origin.

    Following the French attack under La Grange and the suppressions of the Maroons in 1814, Dominica was entering a long period of peace . In 1815 Napoleon was finally overthrown and the threat of French attack on Dominica was over for good.
