Holiday Day 6: Walk in the Park ( and a few drinks)



Woke up early this morning and managed to motivate myself to go for a run. Most of where I went today was through parks which makes a nice change from streets.

After another multi course breakfast went to check out a Bavarian market we had seen advertised. I was expecting lots of stalls with wood carving and other traditional craft stuff, however, it turned out to be a rather small and normal market.

After that we headed to the north end of the Englischer Garten and set of to walk through it, stopping at the various beer gardens along the way. There was one small one that seemed to be a meeting point for dog walkers, I think there was nearly as many dogs as people there. Most of the people we saw in the northern half seemed to be dog walkers.

As we progressed into the southern half it got busier with the people and even the sun decided to come out from behind the clouds. Saw a dog whose owner was throwing sticks into the stream, the dog ran to the edge, then stopped as if saying "it's gone in the water, what do I do". After some indecision it decided to take the plunge and jump into the water after the stick.

After lunch at the Chinescher Turn we headed across an area open parkland, on looking up realised we were walking across the nude sun bathing area!

Once back into the centre we had a few drinks in Augustiner Am Dom and Le Clou before heading back for a shower.

Once we had recovered a bit went into town and had some pizza, before deciding to have an early night. Wrote the post cards I bought in Lindau in a vague effort to actually post them from the same country they were bought in.
