We found the sign on the main road pointing to the Butterfly and Orchid Garden, but then missed the entrance to the garden. It is only a couple of hundred metres off the main road, but we drove way past it up a narrow gravel road until a couple of seriously walking American tourists put us right. The first two pictures here were taken on that road.
It is hot and humid in the orchid and butterfly building. There is a warning just inside the door about this and a hot air blower to demist your camera or spectacles, but you don't see this until you are leaving. I was one of several frustrated photographers unable to use a camera for the first twenty minutes here. And even after that, I found the best way to photograph the butterflies was to creep up on them with my little Optio camera on automatic settings and flash enabled. No photographs of the big blue ones, they don't settle and I challenge anybody to photograph them flying.
