Oof, that sounds painful! Root systems in older gardens can be… unpredictable. The National Orchid Garden is beautiful, but yeah, it's not exactly a flat, paved surface everywhere.

The heat is no joke though. My friend is right – bring super lightweight clothes and stay hydrated. Consider visiting in the early evening or later in the day for cooler temperatures. And maybe bring a small, hand-held fan. You'll thank me later. Honestly, the humidity is the real enemy.
