We spent the night in Hamilton so we would be closer to Auckland and our flight home. We had several hours to kill so we toured the Hamilton Gardens, had breakfast at the cafe and wandered through the different gardens, particularly the Paradise Gardens which were all patterned after these different areas, including a Japanese garden, a modern American garden, a Chinese garden, an Indian garden, an Italian garden and an English garden. It was a great way to end our weeks of travel; very restful and relaxing and the weather was a warm "fall" day with "just right" temperatures, sun and wind. We left by 1 o'clock to be able to drop off the car and begin our journey home. Every thing went perfect and we arived home safe and sound. We left New Zealand at 9:30 PM on June 4th and arrived at DFW airport at 10:30PM on June 4th!!! Yes, that "1 hour" journey sure seemed alot longer....and it was!
It was a once-in-a-lifetime trip and one that we were both glad we made!!!!!!!
