Most visitors walked through ever so quickly, passing us one after the next, never really stopping to look. The same could be said of life I suppose. A select few (maybe you) will see the beauty and inspiration that surrounds. Such a wondrous place is simply a dream for not only the grandparents, gardeners and botany enthusiasts of the world, but artists, photographers, imaginative children and families alike will make this place their playground. The Water Garden is the main area and in its finest moments, is absolutely breathtaking. Most of our time was spent within the borders of the Polynesian Lake, which is lit up for the Illumination that takes place from sundown until the park closes every night. Our trip was on a slow moving Monday and we were literally the only people left in the park, and as the night grew dark more creatures come out of hiding. The kids caught geckos and chased frogs as I sat back and enjoyed the genuine sounds of nature accompanied by a bamboo flute melody echoing from up the hill, and I watched overhead the blue tinted clouds of a full moon rolling over a magenta colored sky. To be honest I may have never experienced such a calm and natural ambiance in my entire life.
