Ghosts On Tour - 2006 - Day 10 (October 8)

The day of the marathon! I went with Anna to the start of the marathon just outside the Olypmic stadium. 10,000 other runners were there as well as a few thousand who were just doing the 10 kilometre run. Anna wore an orange hat and singlet so she was easily identifiable in the throng.

From there, I headed for the subway so I could catch up with her at another couple of vantage points. On the way to the subway station I took some photos of the runners in their first kilometre.

This is my first stop along the marathon path.

My next stop was to be the Deutsches Musuem where I would catch up with Anna again and meet up with Eva, Christian, Monica and Thomas. But, I caught the wrong train and got there about two minutes too late to see Anna. Everyone else saw her though and Thomas took some other photos. On the way to the next stop I took some photos of Munich.

This was the next stop - only one photo as I was handing out gel-type refreshment to Anna as she ran by.

Anna headed off on a long leg through Englischer Garten so we went to the Beer Garden! This photo is of the Chinese tower and there was a brass band playing (from inside the tower).

After our refreshments we headed off to the other side of the gardens to see Anna. Again, only one photo as we tended the weary athlete.

After that it was back to the Olympic stadium. Because of the long walk from the subway station to the stadium, we missed Anna finishing by about two minutes.
