#11 Secret Garden

Enjoy the historical and cultural photos and reports; walk through different natural environments, a cannibal house, and exotic plants; see and touch a coconut crab, or a bright green banded iguana; and visit bungalows from around the archipelago, showing building details. - Lonely Planet

Collection from the hotel was scheduled for 2.00 pm, which really means nothing!  Could be early, but more likely to be fashionably late.  Maybe this is why there is a croquet setup beside the reception area.  It surely does not fit with my military precision of punctuality, but this is a holiday. 

Whilst waiting we had the opportunity to watch a man wood carving.  Despite the appearance of a totem pole, the original design was a drum and only certain villages are skilled in this profession.

As time drags on, I look at out what is happening on the pitch and realise that we had been waiting way too long for collection....yes it is an OCD version of croquet.  Right time for an executive decision, so I got the reception to cancel the tour that was meant to arrive 45 minutes ago, and we went to the pool for the afternoon instead.  Who needs to explain what cannibalism is anyway!
