Enough big city, so a retreat to the woods. I walked up to Kralingen area, to the botannical gardens. There was a harvest festival/fair happening, so nice vibes in a beautiful place. Lots of mushrooms. Including a massive amount of (finished) chicken of the woods around the corner from one of the cafes! Probably they have to leave it alone though.

I had vegan bitterballen and a cup of tea there.

Then walked on, to do a loop around an enormous artificial lake that was lined with woodlands and trails around three sides. The city skyline glimmered in the distance, reflected in the still water.

Yet more mushrooms everywhere. A big splat of old chicken of the woods on the ground at my feet; I looked up, and 20 feet above me in a tree was a huge amount that was probably still good.

After some hours wandering the trails, I had a fantastic Brazilian-style brunch at Veggies cafe.
