On Great Guana Cay is Black Point Settlement. This is a very small community but one of the nicest we have seen. Within the community of Black Point is a place called the Garden of Eden. It is one man's dream, Willy Rolle. His passion is to find hidden treasures within the landscape of the island. These are not treasures of gold or precious gems but simple items that most of us would overlook. He will find tree trunks, tree branches or even rocks that bear a resemblance of something. It's like looking at the clouds and seeing a dog or a person's face. Willy's front yard is decorated with these items and from the looks of it, he has been at it for many years. Then we got a tour of the back yard where we were treated to many different fruit bearing trees. We even had the chance to sample some of the different fruits of Willy's "garden". This was one of best experiences we have had with the local people of the Bahamas, one that we will treasure for a long time, thanks Willy.
