After yesterday's rain, Saturday turned into a beautiful sunny day, ideal for exploring the city. After breakfast we went up to the Botanical Gardens high above the city by cable car ($3 single). From the top there is a very clear panoramic view of the city and harbour. The walk back down into the city through the gardens was wonderful with plenty of shade along the leafy pathways. Unfortunately, through an error in navigation on Roger's part we ended up at the wrong end of the gardens and spent an hour retracing our steps to find the right exit. In the middle of the gardens it is hard to believe you are in the heart of a city as we saw no-one for about 15 minutes of walking at one point.
