Eden Project 9 May

Tim Smit’s Eden Project, built in a deep china clay pit, is dominated by huge domed enclosures emulating two natural biomes: A rainforest environment (it has the largest indoor rainforest in the world) and the second, a Mediterranean environment. Outside are botanical gardens with native and near native British plants.

Waterfalls and streams, as well as “rain” humidify the rainforests.
The jungle was indeed hot and humid.

Exploring the gardens within and without takes at least a few hours, not counting the time to hike from and back up the hill to the carpark.
