The rest off the party flew out, so we stayed on to do a little independent tourism. Since I've seldom been disappointed by botanic gardens, we decided to vist the Andromeda Gardens, in Bathsheba, on the Atlantic side of the island. This involved nabbing a ride on one of the private minivans, which took a circuitous and hectic route past the main racecourse to the Fairchild Street terminal, and then a number 6 bus across the island, whcih took about an hour.
We arrived just as the gardens opened. They were indeed very pretty, although they'd been laid out to showcase a whole variety of tropical blants, and not just indigenous ones. But they had a nice guided tour on an app, and we enjoyed it. We had fish at the Zemi East Coast Cafe, which was very good, and then gulped down a rum-and-coke at the Sea View Bar, right at the bus-stop.
