After the first seven gardens we headed back home and had some lunch. We put our feet up and relaxed because the gardens were going to take a break between 1:00 and 3:30. After our break we went to two gardens that were right down the street from us. The next two gardens were further afoot and further than we had ever ventured before. So far pout that we felt a bit uncomfortable and decided not to take the same route back. But on the other hand the last garden was the largest of them all and quite nice.
