Eden project.

A somewhat Disney like experience but as a garden. Built in an abandoned China clay pit, transformed with 83000 tons of soil, landscaped, gardened etc. Project organized by the same person who did Heligan. A former musician clearly with many talents.
Outdoor trail with wonderful plantings and sculptures reminiscent of the Heligan gardens, with some overlapping artists.
Tropical Rainforest biodome best appreciated in the flickr pics. Malay village house, baobob drink, interesting discussion of how we get vanilla, panela (qb purchased some), I got a baobob smoothie drink, roul rouls, which are tropical partridges with iridescent feathers.
Mediterranean biome felt a lot like California and also displayed South Africa plant species, some familiar from our own gardens. Nice exhibit of pepper plants from sweet to insane. Each plant marked with its Scoville rating. The hottest appeared to be the Devon Naga at over 1.6 million.
Intended to walk back to the bus stop, a 45 or so minute stroll but when Boogs managed to instantly get lost upon leaving, a nice person said I will give you a lift. Took us all the way back to Fowey, showing us Tristan's grave on the way. Would not accept an offer of tea, or petrol money claiming had to get home to sick old cat. Cornwall can be amazing.
Bouillabaisse "for two" for dinner. Actually b for six. Burp.
