This weekend, we decided to visit Hamilton.
Husband has been there for work before, but it was a first for the kids and I.
It took about two hours to get there, so was an easy drive for a day trip.
Perhaps unfairly nicknamed "CowTown", because it's a bit like a big country town, Hamilton was gorgeous and very relaxed.
I can't wait to go back for a longer visit (and maybe hit the factory outlet shops)!
Hamilton Lake - it's actually the crater of an ancient volcano, a fact which impressed the kids no end
At the Maori section at Hamilton Gardens ... these guys are supposed to make the crops grow better and er, bigger

Look out, there are two of her!

Europe anyone?
A stroll with Daddy
Play time
The kids loved the fountains
So peaceful
Running wild...
Wait for me!
More gardens ...
The kids had never seen daffodils growing before - they had only ever seen them in the shops!
Time to refuel

Looks like you guys had a fantastic day out :)
wow it looks so pretty! We loved our trip to NZ. Missed Cow Town though... what a shame. We'll have to check it out next time we head over. :-)
This place looks incredible. You are having an amazing time over there.
