we took an Uber across Victoria from our hotel to Royal Rhodes University… it also is the location of Hatley Castle…

we weren’t interested in the castle, and had a bit of trouble finding the gardens we were looking for, lol… eventually we found a gardener and they set us on the correct path…

we were headed toward the Japanese Garden and did find it… there was an upper part and a lower part, with big trees, a few buildings, and peaceful vistas…

it had a lovely pond as well as some creeks…

we had fun getting some lovely shots in the garden next to the castle where it looked like you were in a beautiful meadow 🙂…
