Royal Botanic Gardens — Attraction in Trinidad

Wonderful workout experience, especially early mornings. You can smell the trees as you walk or run. The path inclines on occasion, so it adds to your workout difficulty, which is great for pushing your heart just a little more than a walk around the Savannah. There is a measure of privacy as you workout, so you are more inclined to stop and get in a few body weight exercises as well. You are in the capital city, but the noise and smoke from the cars are not as intruding as walking the Savannah, which is a plus for your lungs.

Its leaves are packed with antiseptic properties, making them great for treating wounds. Plus, brew them into a tea and they help soothe asthma and coughs. Oh, and here’s the best part: the Rainbow Eucalyptus naturally repels mosquitoes. As someone with O+ blood (and an apparent magnet for mosquitoes), I couldn’t appreciate this more—goodbye, itchy...

The high point for me however was that I needed to use a washroom which I spotted on entering the grounds and to my absolute pleasure the ladies was clean and well equipt with toilet paper, soap and water at that hour. Tissue was missing but that place was clean enough to sit and have a meal so I'll forgive the missing tissue. Well done Botanic Gardens P. O. S., Well done. Keep it up though guys cause only in well kept private entities have I ever seen comparatively clean...
