From the Pope’s Garden, I dropped by the information office to ask a few questions. Then I spent some time in the Medicinal Garden before making the final push to Nyandungu Restaurant.
In the Medicinal Garden, I learned one or two things about the medicinal value of trees. Plants have been used to produce medicines for thousands of years. From the immunization of diseases to the treatment of a plethora of ailments, a tree is a gift that keeps on giving.
When I made it to the restaurant, I skimmed through the menu before pointing at my favorite chicken salad platter. The plate that was finally placed on my table served as the trophy awarded to an outstanding walker.
After lunch, I took an easy stroll toward Muhazi Pond. As I nursed my sore muscles on the bench, I saw a narrow path snaking around the pond. Guess what, I wasn’t done walking.
While circumnavigating the pond, I slowed down and observed more birds minding their own businesses. The ever busy creatures were building nests and communicating in their own language. The language I am still learning.
This is the last post from my Nyandungu chronicles. One of these days, I will give you access to the digital magazine highlighting my memorable day in the park that has redefined urban ecotourism.
