I'd been looking forward to "eating fruit right off the trees" as advertised, but with the heavy rains making much mud there was no strolling through the orchards. Instead we sampled a dozen fruits on the farmer-owner's lanai, many of which I've never heard like soursop, chocolate guava, sapote (two kinds!), brown sugar fruit, vi fruit and star apple. We even tried the banned-on-public-transport, Limburger-cheese-of-fruits durian!
After the fruit came fresh cacao, roasted cacao nibs, "chocolate" made of coconut oil, cacao and cane sugar and dried whole apple bananas the size of a finger. Plus, coffee grown on site to wash it all down. All in all, a delicious lunch even if we didn't get to pluck it off the trees.
