Penang One-Day Tour - #7: Botanical Garden (Part 2)

As I mentioned before, the Botanical Garden still managed - from time to time - to give me new surprises.

Either that, or I haven't really been paying attention during earlier trips. :-p

During this recent trip, as we were going along one of the main paths, we stumbled across a secluded path that led off the main path into a nice and cool spot shaded from the scorching sun outside. It felt almost like a half-forgotten path in a forest, and for a moment, we had a thrilled sensation as if going on an exciting adventure...


The stone path was a bit slippery...


It was actually quite dark - and very cool - in there, but these pictures depict the place to be quite bright, because the camera was in night-mode (longer exposure).



The path led eventually to beneath a bridge that we had crossed earlier. There was a flight of narrow stone steps (not seen here) that will return you to the surface world.


What a wonderful thing it would be to bring along an easel and spend a whole afternoon there dabbling in watercolor...
