Orchids everywhere, of all colors and varieties. Jewelry made with flowers and gold. Delicious food options on a buffet.
That was what we found when our group went to the Orchid Restaurant in Thailand. When we entered, a little red orchid was pinned to our shirts. From there we got to check out the jewelry made from orchids and butterfly wings. Miranda bought a pair of blue orchid petal earrings. We walked around the many beautiful orchids as well as through the butterfly garden.

The orchids and I

After all of that wondering around, we got to eat at the buffet there. I did mention it in my food post, but I got a watermelon shake (amazing!!) and had some yummy food.

One evening we went to the Night Safari, where we first got to see, touch, and feed giraffes, which was by far the best part. We ate at a very disappointing "buffet" and then watched a couple of shows and then got on two different trams and went around in the dark, seeing many different kinds of animals that the driver would shine the spotlights on. The breeze on the tram was definitely amazing, even though it was hard to see the animals and nearly impossible to get any decent pictures of them.

It was the first time that they had taken any groups there and our leader was not impressed, either, and said she doubted they'd return. But the giraffes were pretty cool!
