Englischer Garten

Each Friday, school finishes at 2:20pm.  So Malcolm and I decided we need to start taking more advantage of this.  We caught the train into Schwabing, a very nice northern suburb of Munich, and went for a walk through the English Garden.  

This garden is one of Europe's biggest city park (bigger than London' Hyde Park and New York's Central Park).  In summer this park is full of people walking, cycling, jogging, sun bathing, swimming and even surfing.  In winter they are still walking but people are also cross country skiing, tobogganing, cycling and jogging.  The beer gardens are closed but there are still the inside restaurants and bars open.  It was lovely to walk through and see so many people enjoying it.  The snow was soft and very pretty.

 

  

 

We then headed into the centre of town to wander through some stores and for dinner.
