Evening Visit to Botanical Gardens

 Reader Advisory Notice - If you ain't got yer hat on Bomber,
 hold on to something else!

 One of a number of dinners I shared with Dance Hosts Tony and Kieth
aboard the 'mighty' M/V Voyager.

A REAL PLEASURE GENTS!

Views of the Botanical Gardens which close at 18:00 each evening.

The Security Guard locking the gates as the sun sank, offered me a lift back to the main gate on his electric golf buggy. He said he had seen me most days and between the crew were keeping a watchful eye so I didn't get into any bother - very nice gesture.
