Saturday morning we had another yummy breakfast at the buffet, then JP and Matthew dropped us at the National Botanical Garden just a few minutes from the hotel. They headed off to go snorkeling and we took a tram into a private area of the island where we had a two and a half hour guided tour.

The garden is located on the Robert Allerton estate and consists of about 500 acres with a huge variety of different types of plants. Quizmo was full of questions about everything; he was having a great time.

There were a number of different 'rooms' nestled in amongst the jungle: one had a double fountain and an area for eating, another with a triple reflecting pool and another with a wave-action trough between two mermaid statues.

That evening we had dinner at the Beach House restaurant. We had a great view of the sunset and the food was really good. We did a good job of testing our cocktail limit as well!
