For our one full day in Miami we decided on a trip to the Fairchild Tropical Botanical Garden. We had visited here several years back and were in need of a refresher course.
They run a guided tram tour of the property introducing visitors to all the various gardens. After the tram tour we walked to the Glass Café for Lunch. The blessedly air-conditioned dining room has a wall of class windows, which afford a view directly into the butterfly house. After lunch we walked through the Rain Forest Garden, past the Palm Garden and around the lagoon where we spied a cormorant drying it’s wings in the sun. After returning to Sunny Isles Beach and attending to laundry we drove to Hollywood Beach with Linda and Dan and strolled on the boardwalk before picking a open air restaurant for dinner.
