Forced indoors and forced beer

Monday it's raining. Indoor activity time. We dash to the buses and across a large royal garden to visit one of the palaces. The most interesting room was filled with paintings of women from various social classes as requested by the king . We later discover that they were all women with whom the king had slept with and there were a dozen more paintings in the basement (including two male specimens!)

There was also a glorious carriage museum. They were decorated outrageously over the top with way too much gold and extravagant tassels. And each carriage was meant for a particular occasion. There was a funeral carriage, a carriage for when the king wants to visit the gardens and so on...

Oh surprise, we go to a beer hall tonight for dinner and a drink -just one tonight... one litre that is.
