Hamilton Gardens

Posted by in New Zealand

Our stop at Hamilton Gardens was really just an excuse to get out and stretch our legs as we knew we had a bit of driving to do on this day from Auckland to Rotorua. We were pleasantly surprised, it was a beautiful accumulation of different types of gardens from all around the world. Needless to say, there were a lot of old people there.

Here’s some pictures. (Of the gardens, not of the old people)
