A botanical garden is a place for contemplation and rest. The visit in Vacratot took place early in December 2006, and the two Norwegians were the only visitors. This fact made the contemplation and resting part even more attractive. Most of the flowers sleep in December, but still Vacratot is a beautiful garden.
