Ending my visit to the Okinawa Tropical Dream Centre I took a slow walk to the outdoor pond. It has more Amazon lily pads! I really enjoyed my time here and I was over the moon that it was a very quiet day around mid-day. I love tropical gardens like this. I’ve been to Kew Gardens in London and the Eden Project in Cornwall. But I like this Tropical garden more because there’s more flowers, plus it’s by the sea so you can get a beautiful view from above when you go up to the top floor of the tower.
