Today we made an important decision: to get ourselves museum passes. So now we are on a mission to see the included sights and museums, and make good use of the included metro pass. After a lovely meal and visit with family I seldom get to see we headed off to the botanical garden. The Botanical Garden was recommended to us earlier by our tour guide the art store owner. He compared it to Kew Garden in London and so won me over. Although we weren't quite prepared enough for todays sun and heat, and although the outdoor Gardens were clearly not yet at their full potential, it was certainly worth it.
I love a good garden, or really nearly any garden, or just a lonely flower. Kinds of tulips i'd never seen before, a room full of the most marvelous cacti, gardens of other cultures... yes! It really is an amazing breadth of a collection of plants.
We were going to tackle an art gallery this evening, but ruled in favour of dinner instead, and topped our evening off with a walk by the old port.
