Today we decided to go to the Golden Gate Park, it's a lovely day so we walked a fair
way, taking in some of the Japanese section, which is very picturesque. A No. 5 bus took
us the rest of the way. Our first stop was the Japanese Tea Gardens and some Jasmine tea
of course with Fortune cookies. It's a really beautiful garden with lots of lovely little
buildings and gorgeous plants and trees, see piccies! We wandered on from there to the
Asian Art Museum to have lunch in the garden and some culture, paintings, sculptures,
pottery etc. Whilst there we took photos of mother duck and her seven ducklings and some
terrapins sunbathing on the rocks in a little pond. From there we made our way to the
Botanic Gardens and the Arboretum where we sauntered for a couple of hours, taking in all
the trees and plants from around the world. We went up to Stow Lake and walked around most
of it encountering a flock of hungry pigeons, then, with weary feet, found our way back to
the bus and a pizza with wine in a nice little bistro. We are retiring early
tonight, the intrepid explorers have blistered feet! Catch up with the next exciting
episode tomorrow!
