We went for a bike ride along the beach this morning, probably rode about 6 - 7 km altogether. The sand is very compact here on the beach and makes for easy riding. We then went to the Information Centre and paid $4 each to attend a "Tropical Fruit Safari". We really did not know what to expect but I have to say that it was the best money we have spent in a while. We must have tasted at least 18 tropical fruits, apart from a banana we had never tried any of the others. We sampled Star Fruit Apple, Rollinia, Sour Sop, Carambola, Black Sapote just to name a few. It certainly got the taste buds going. The ladies from the Information Centre certainly did a good job explaining each fruit. One thing that we were both surprised to see was the Banana Flower, it looks like a big seed and the bananas grow inside under the leaves and as the bananas grow the leaves fall away. I think I have explained that right.
