DAY 4

A very lazy day staying within Naples. Another very hot day but with a lovely breeze which kept us coolish.

We visited the Naples Botanical Gardens which were a delight. There was a two day flower arranging show and photographic show which was superb. They had to do things like representing film posters with flower arrangements, such as Titanic. It was incredible. There was a separate show taking pictures of the arrangements, quite a good idea I thought. The gardens themselves were very beautiful and if you looked at the map it looked as though they were created by a bit at the edge of the Everglades, hence a lot of water. Lots of different areas representing different parts of the USA. One of the best gardens we have been to and very enjoyable. Loved the image of the Water Lily with the leaves looking metal in the sun.

We spent the majority of the morning there and then tried to drive along the beach, which was impossible. Most is taken up with apartments and private beaches so not conducive to a. Nice drive along the sea front.

We move on tomorrow to Bonito Springs.
