A spring ride

The weather a couple of days ago was absolutely glorious with real warmth in the air so it was an easy decision to pack a sandwich (and some leftover pasta!) and extend my shopping trip to visit the park.

Map showing my route

Lots of urban meandering

The park was so green, at least at ground level, but most of the trees were still bare, just a few with the lightest smudge of green around them like an aura. The ground was mostly dry underfoot, so the going was relatively easy. I stopped to snap the Nymphaeum of Egeria and then, on the way back, ducked through the little tunnel that goes under the road to the bottling plant for Egeria mineral water which, I admit, we seldom buy.

A Roman ruin with barrel vaulted ceiling and arched niches set into the walls. In front is a pool of water surrounded by green vegetation and there are young trees growing over the ruin.

The Nymphaeum of Egeria

A long low shed through which can be seen people filling bottles from pipes in a wall. A tiled roof and bare trees are visible behind the shed.

The Egeria bottling plant

The bottling plant wasn’t that inviting, although I did see people filling their containers, which might be free if you’re prepared to go all that way.

On the way back I stopped off to eat my lunch in the sunshine before meandering back home after another couple of brief shopping stops.
