A Day at the English Gardens

On Friday morning, I got up about the usual time, but took my time getting ready, checking email, and catching up on reading I'd both been wanting to do. When we were ready, we took the train to Pasing to pick up some breakfast pastries (I had an apple cinnamon pastry)and coffee and headed back to the train to go to the English Gardens.

I took breakfast to the English Gardens and found a nice spot on the lake to eat and watch the ducks and swans. It turned out to be a beautiful day with a nice breeze, so I walked around all different areas of the gardens, finding some waterfalls, grassy areas where kids were playing, and a nice path along the river. I ended up heading over to the Residenz Museum area, mostly to see what was over there and decided that I'd come back and do the museum on Sunday. When I started getting hungry for lunch, I walked back to the English Gardens and got food at the Chinese Tower area. I had potatoes and sausage, and an order of cabbage. You can see my previous post about the English Gardens to see a picture of this meal.

After lunch, it started to sprinkle rain a bit, so I walked back to the station and went to Marienplatz, instead of going to Olympia Park as originally planned. I did a bit of shopping in Marienplatz, and stopped to pick up the tea infuser we'd seen before at the JA Henckles store. I went back home after that, since we had a little bit of grocery shopping and some other errands to do on the way. I picked up some more bread, lunch meat for picnic lunches, cheese, and a few snack items, like crackers and cookies, at the grocery store. I did a snack supper of cheese, salami, and some other items, and had a few hours of down time before going to bed.
