  Just before noon we headed to the Gardens of Versailles. We saw a tram pulling up and decided instead to walk it so we could explore at our own pace.
  Plus tehre was a line for the train/tram.
  They claimed there was free wi-fi so you could use the mobile app. I tried a couple of times and nothing seemed to work so I gave up and went device free.

  A better picture of the small train/tram.
  Looking to the right.. I believe this is toward the North Parterre. We opted not to walk that way.
  I will put captions for ones that I can match up on the map and others like this that I am unsure of I will leave unlabeled. If anyone wants to send me captions feel free.

  Looking back at the main palace
  This gives a better idea of the scale.

  The ground was mostly this dirt/sandy walkway.. with the wind this made for some little dust storms.
  Looking out toward the Green Carpet and Grand Canal beyond it.

  Again an idea for scale. Look at the security car. This is infront of the Apollo Baths Grove
  We did not venture in there..
  The large sculpture of Anish Kapoor was vandalized less than a month ago and they were still restoring it. This is that large piece on the green carpet.

  You can see what I am assuming is the temporary cover over the graffiti.

  Some dining options. It was coming up on 12:30 and we had snacked so no one was hungry yet.
  We took the path less taken.

  The rest of the group was convinced I had them lost in the forest of France...
  But we did find other tourists so knew we were heading the right direction.
  Eventually came to the Grand Trianon and the edge of the Grand Canal.

  Looking back you can see the top of the palace in the distance. We had walked a good distance to get here. The guide map says the direct route is 1.5KM we went further since we took the scenic route.

  These little dogs decided to bark at the sheep. It raised its head and the dogs went running behind their owners.

  Looking back.
  At this point we left the estate grounds and walked through the city of Versailles to return to the train station and bypass the big hill to the main palace.

  Ahh this clears it up.. we are almost there.
  In the distance on the hill is the palace.. so we knew we were going the right direction.. that is the road we walked up this morning.

  Found the train and then transferred to the RER A line. Disney is the end of the end of the line and easy to spot on the station list.
  Passing by a random station on the way. The train ride was not too scenic.
  Arrived back at the Disney station at 5:16pm. After this headed back to the hotel then out to dinner and to the park which is in part 3.
