Lotus Garden

Lotus are so amazing here. I never knew there were so many varieties of the plant. we saw pink, yellow, cream, and white colored ones - all in varring shades and with different patters of color on the leaves.
Here's a field of lotus growing naturally.

After walking around the fields and then gardens we stopped for soft serve icecream that was lotus flavored. It only tasted a bit different than vanilla - but I couldn't say for certain it was lotus flavored as I've never eatten a lotus. Getting different flavors of soft cream for each season is really popular here. I've tasted loads of different ones. My all time favorite was sakura.

After ice cream we soaked our feet in a hot spa bathtub thing with some plastic lotus blossoms, some real ones, and some dried see pods in it. I think there was lotus soap in it as well. Then we took this group picture.
