Taking time to stop and smell the roses…


Looking for something different to do than the regular shopping and dining, I decided to explore the beautiful botanical gardens of the Capital City of New Zealand, Wellington. The local tourism board offered a shuttle into the downtown core of the Wellington to which the city’s famed cable car ride was just about 5 minutes away from the stop.



I jumped on the cable car and rode it up to the top of the mountain (New Zealand is VERY hilly!) and then spent about an hour walking down the mountain along the flower lined trail.




At the bottom was the Lady Norway Rose Gardens which there was hundreds of different types of roses growing. It was quite beautiful to see and worth the time to stop and smell the roses…
