It was a long day of travelling, airport queues and a shuttle ride to Hamilton yesterday. It’s good to be in a familiar hotel (breakfast included) with time to ‘decompress’ before I fly home on Wednesday.
First on my list was to visit the Medieval Garden which has been developed since I was here over a year ago. As rain was forecast later in the day, I set off early along the river. I had the new garden – a contemplative place – to myself.
The English Flower Garden was another delight. It was being renovated when I was here last.
Other favourites were the Katherine Mansfield Garden, the Japanese Contemplative Garden and the Kitchen Garden.
I made it back to the hotel (18,267 steps along the river with tūī overhead in the trees plus two piwakawaka) with provisions for hunkering down for the evening, and the rain has been of biblical proportions.
What a fabulous trip you’ve had! Miraz

It far exceeded expectations. Tasmania is a well kept secret – although we were very lucky with the weather. Even the snow was stunning surprise!
