Waitomo- Hamilton

Efter en våd og blæsende nat var der mange stormskader samt oversvømmelser på vejene, da vi kørte mod Hamilton. Her besøgte vi bl.a. Hamilton Gardens, som desværre endnu ikke var så farverig, som vi havde håbet på, men stadig flot! Vi nåede næsten at se det hele, inden det begyndte at styrtregne, og vi holdt frokostpause!

Vi tog derefter hen mod det sted, vi havde booket, og gik en lille tur langs en af floderne, hvorefter den stod på afslapning.

Dagen efter besøgte vi Te Whare Taonga o Waikato Museum & Gallery, hvilket var en gratis oplevelse, så vi havde ikke så store forventninger til det. Men vi blev klogere på byen Hamilton og dens opbygning.

Derefter kørte vi videre til Taumarunui, hvor vi den efterfølgende dag havde booket en oplevelse, som måske lå lidt uden for vores aldersgruppe.

After a wet and windy night, there were many storm damages and road floods as we drove toward Hamilton. There, we visited Hamilton Gardens, which unfortunately wasn’t as colourful as we had hoped yet, but still beautiful! We almost managed to see everything before it started pouring down, and we took a lunch break!

We then headed to the place we had booked and went for a small walk along one of the rivers, after which it was time to relax.

The next day, we visited Te Whare Taonga o Waikato Museum & Gallery, which was a free activity, so we didn’t have high expectations. But we learned more about the city of Hamilton and how it is structured.

Afterwards, we continued to Taumarunui, where we had booked an activity for the following day, perhaps slightly outside our usual age group.Read more
