The Commonwealth of Dominica is a gem in the Caribbean and should be on everyone’s bucket list. Like all gems, Dominica is prized for her great beauty. The national anthem reminds everyone that Dominica:
“is the isle of beauty, isle of splendour,
isle to all so sweet and fair,
All must surely gaze in wonder,
At thy gifts so rich and rare…”
