Rotorua to Hamilton to Albany

As in most places in New Zealand, signage at the entrance to the Gardens was lacking, but otherwise, they were quite impressive. We enjoyed our walk through the many different “themed” gardens, the Herb Garden, Fruit & Vegetable Gardens, & the Rose Garden, in particular. We arrived at our hotel in Albany without incident, despite the left entry & exits off the main highway.Read more
