- Sharing new Roseau, Dominica scenic driving before Category 5 Hurricane Maria hit the Island Nation. It's been exactly 2 years since this disaster and I hope recovery has been going well. This particular video is recorded about 4.5 months before Maria and contains the rest of the amazing views from Morne Bruce, Roseau all the way to Emerald Pool Waterfalls including the botanical gardens of Roseau. This video also contains scenes from the rainforests of Dominica.
The photos from Morne Bruce Viewpoint of Roseau with Royal Caribbean Serenade of the Seas at the port was captured with my SONY Alpha 65 with 8mm lens. The camera is 24 Mp luckily had plenty pixels to zoom in...

Hurricane Maria was a deadly Category 5 hurricane that devastated Dominica, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico in September 2017. It is regarded as the worst natural disaster in recorded history to affect those islands and was also the deadliest Atlantic hurricane since Mitch in 1998. The tenth-most intense Atlantic hurricane on record and the most intense tropical cyclone worldwide in 2017, Maria was the thirteenth named storm, eighth consecutive hurricane, fourth major hurricane, second Category 5 hurricane, and deadliest storm of the hyperactive 2017 Atlantic hurricane season. At its peak, the hurricane caused catastrophic destruction and numerous fatalities across the northeastern Caribbean, compounding recovery efforts in the areas of the Leeward Islands already struck by Hurricane Irma. Total losses from the hurricane are estimated at upwards of $91.61 billion (2017 USD), mostly in Puerto Rico, ranking it as the third-costliest tropical cyclone on record.

Dominica (/ˌdɒmɪˈniːkə/ DOM-ih-NEE-kə; French: Dominique; Island Carib: Wai‘tu kubuli), officially the Commonwealth of Dominica, is an island country in the West Indies.[9] The capital, Roseau, is located on the western side of the island. It is part of the Windward Islands in the Lesser Antilles archipelago in the Caribbean Sea. The island is located near Guadeloupe to the northwest and Martinique to the south-southeast. Its area is 750 km2 (290 sq mi), and the highest point is Morne Diablotins, at 1,447 m (4,747 ft) in elevation. The population was 71,293 at the 2011 census.
The island was originally inhabited by the Kalinago. Columbus is said to have passed the island on Sunday 3 November 1493, and the island's name is derived from the Latin for "Sunday". It was later colonised by Europeans, predominantly by the French from the 1690s to 1763. Great Britain took possession in 1763 after the Seven Years' War, and it gradually established English as its official language. The island republic gained independence in 1978.

This reminds me of England, driving on the left-hand side of the road! A very nice leisurely drive and a picturesque place, which I am grateful that you have brought for me to see as I will probably never get there to see it myself. Again nice music to go with the tempo of travel.
Hello again Sue 🍒🦋👩, yes I was just a transit passenger in London so prior to the Caribbean tand Falkland island trips I had no left side driving experience so it still kind of scarry to me 😁🎃 I hope people of Dominica enjoy this... Kind regards 🍀🌃🌠🌖
@@VolkanYuksel I learnt how to drive in England when I was 21 years old on a manual shift car. Emigrated to Canada 12 years later and had to drive an automatic for a Canadian driving license on the right side of the road! Now drive a manual shift again and enjoying it immensely.

Hello 🇬🇧💐👩👦 I remember one of my youngest and smart follower 👦 My parents are retired teachers so I must have teaching in my genes😎 but without your great influence on him, he probably wouldn't be able to find my mini channel and 🌋 videos. I am very happy to hear that he is developing more interest toward science 🌋🌍🚀👩🚀 🌖📡📖⚗️🌼🐜🐝🦋 :) Best wishes to 🇬🇧 from Florida 🏝️🇺🇸
Great Vidio very well flamed giving views unseen by me personally. Rasel.
Hello Marcel Jean, glad you liked this driving video from amazing Dominica 😀 Thank you for your message and cheers from Florida🌴🌞🍀😎
Very nice, Peace and Good Fortune to you!
Dear G LG 💐🍒 thank you much, glad you liked this video. This is more like a reference document for Dominica which was directly hit with the eye of the category 5 hurricane 🌀 Maria 5 months after this recording back in 2017. From what I found out from the photos of 2019, nature has been recovering well since than. I hope everything else also on good track for recovery. Thank you much for your message and best wishes🌴
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I am from Dominica, living on another planet. I am really enjoying your video. Beautiful ! Hope you will return to film After Maria.

You started out in Morne Bruce or just above. 😃

As can be seen in the description there are total of 3 driving in Dominica videos. This one is #2. 🌴🗻🎥Best wishes for the weekend from Florida 🌴😎🍀
Hello my dearest Volkan..😘...I just realized this video came through yesterday. How could I miss it? 😢This is such a beautiful ride you took through the Dominica..how green. I love the roadside stands that I’m sure they sold fresh fruits and vegetables 🌽 🌶..Was this shortly before Hurricane Maria? I could feel that there was a storm coming somehow. Driving on the left side is so strange to see.. haa..a couple of times..I went whoa..😂..This is a beautiful peaceful ride through the island to this music 🎶 that perfectly fits right in. I watched it twice just now. So beautiful and relaxing...I also loved the cubing...and the the waterfall 💦..at the end...so beautiful and natural. What a peaceful place to go and visit and to be away from much civilization. Thank you for sharing Volkan. I love all of your videos. I feel very different to each and every one. Good evening to you...sweet dreams...🎶💖🌈🌤👱🏻♀️🌤🌈💖🎶
Dear Christine 👩💐 🍒, I am glad I was able to share some more scenes from the day in Dominica about 5 months before hurricane Maria reached to the island with category 5 strength. From what I know, In addition to the damage to most of the buildings in the island also most of the rainforest was severely impacted and strong winds even stripped barks of a lot off the trees. That's one of the reason I left the ride in the dense rainforest scenes in this video as future reference. I thank you very much for your message and wish you a pleasant evening as well. 🌴🌀🍀🐜💐🐝🌖🌠🌃😎
Volkan Yuksel this is so wonderful Volkan to have for beautiful memories as it was before the Hurricane hit. 😢😢I remember the storm. You were also lucky to not be stranded there during that time. I love secluded islands, but yet it’s not desolate. You have all precious videos of many corners of the world. I vividly remember all of them here as you posted them...Hope to see you soon again.😘...I’m really appreciating your presence as you have been appearing. Thank you..🍃🌈🌤🌤👱🏻♀️🌹🌤🌤🌈🍃
I feel home sick because I love Dominica
Hello Martha Lugay, glad you enjoyed this video from Dominica, hope you like the other ones as well :) Cheers from Florida :)
