The Huntington Botanical Gardens

It only took 10 minutes to drive here and we arrived early! It’s because we didn’t use the highway and took the town roads.

We spent 5 hours in the Chinese and Japanese gardens. They are huge peaceful and so different from western gardens.

We had a Chinese salad sitting in the shade as by lunch time the mist had lifted and it was hot

A Chinese man sat playing beautifully

We saw most of the Australian garden and some of the palm area then tried to find the rose garden. We were weary from walking but after a drink of coffee we set off again. We’ll sleep well tonight xx
