Peace & Love from

Exu (and Paloma G)

I like your fresh perspective on sightseeing! Maybe because I'm an incurable romantic myself

You mention places in the Garden that seem to be key sights, so I expected them to be less secluded - was there a particular time of day that is best for romance, or are there even more popular places to visit that mean the places you chose are not too busy?

*gets lost in reverie of holding hands in an empty room in a museum with only paintings for company*

I love this! Be sure to send pictures if you have them.

Kissing couple optional, of course...

I enjoyed reading this – Sounds like you both had a good time there and enjoyed the, ahem, research.

I did wonder what size the gardens are in total?
I admit that after reading I foolishly at first assumed that the gardens were in a large greenhouse, before thinking 'This is Brazil – they don't need to plant plants in greenhouses, the climate's warm enough already…'

<BB<

I think we both enjoyed writing this Entry almost as much as we enjoyed doing the, ahem, research. Especially Paloma's part - she's so wonderful with words. When I read it, I am taken back to that garden...

Anyhow: I would like to add some footnotes - but I find it difficult to use GuideML - when I update the entry it keeps telling me that something went wrong.

I would add following footnotes:

Romantic behaviour, including nearly all forms of kissing, in public is well tolerated by Brazilian society.

The park encompasses an area of 56 hectares, or 134 acres, including buildings and herbariums.

Pics: Sorry - we were kind of busy with, ahem, researching, so we never thought about taking pictures. We might deliver some pictures in the future, maybe some Editor could bop the picture in... We are however, not likely visiting these gardens in the next few months.

Thanks for the comments,

Exu

Found a way to enter footnotes! Yay!

I am always humbled when on h2g2 by the hardships of research that other writers put themselves through
