A day of relaxation without too much riding took us to first to the Reptile Gardens. It is a nice 3 or 4 hour tourist spot that cost $13.50 per person to get in. Here they had many features from a nice gift shop to all sort of Reptile exhibits. They have a few shows that teach you about the various animals. Some of the animals are harmless (they take your dollar bill and run - see picture) and some are extremely deadly (they can take your life - see picture of deadly snake). Charla and Nick II made friends with a wandering alligator. They also had some minimum wage security to make sure nobody bothers the reptiles, problem is they don't pay attention to where they are standing (see picture). All in all it was a nice way to relax for a few hours.
