| The walk through the gardens were completely and utterly frozen in places |
The green house originally opened in 1882 and is filled with hundreds of plants from all over the world. It was a great place to warm up on such a freezing cold day and was full of beautiful bright colours and smells of all the flowers.
It doesn't take long to walk around the palm house but it was worth a look to imagine how on earth the building was constructed all those years ago. The construction is facinating!

Opposite the Palm House is another greenhouse and this one was pleasantly even warmer! This one known as the desert house was full of cactus plants and even a few snakes and a lot of birds flying around the inside.

After an afternoon at the Palace Gardens we decided to walk back to our hotel to thoroughly warm up after being outside in such freezing temperatures. It's a totally different climate to being in the UK and the evenings regularly drop down deep into minus figures and the day times barely get above freezing and most days there was light snow falling in the air.
Here is one of the tributaries of the river running alongside the railway line that is completely frozen either side of the flowing water.
