While we were waiting for our guide to arrive, we were amused by a chameleon deciding that it felt a little watched and try to escape along some rather flimsy leaves... it nearly fell a few time. poor thing!
We were taken on a guided tour of the garden and were introduced to a wide range of native and imported tropical plants. I (Tim) translated what I could for Fiona, but with such a beautiful garden, you almost didn't need commentary... I can hardly remember what the guide told us... He gave us a coffee bean straight from the tree and quite a few other leaves and berries to sniff.
After this, we were quite hot, so found a nice shady spot by the sea for our lunch. The sea was so clear and blue! after lunch we just sat and watched the waves break against the cliffs. Totally relaxing and cooling.
In the afternoon, we went to follow a trail we found on day 3, too see where it went... I had hoped it would go along a recent lava flow all the way to the sea. but no it didn't go very far. never mind. we found an other random path that did so that's ok :)
By the way, the volcano is erupting right now. there are a few pics here. we just missed the start of it :(
