Actually, this is exactly what it looked like when we arrived at 11:00 This morning! Not a soul in sight and as you will see from our interior shots there was no one inside either. Paula had called ahead and said, "We're coming!" But we really didn't expect them to close it down to everyone else. It was nice.
Here you can see a great big long room. . . That's as much detail as Duane can provide. You'll just have to imagine this entire room with carved walnut walls, ivory carvings and gold on everything that wasn't walnut or ivory. It was stunning! And it went on forever.
Paula nailed some pictures of the King's bed. Duane is seriously wanting one of these.
And here it is from the other side. Looks just as good from over here.
There was an enormous amount of proof that, "It is Good to be King!" We could go on and on and will.
This little blue throne is actually Napoleon's it was quite nice! Old Nappy treated himself well!
This is our one "Church Shot" of the day. . . Trinity chapel. Even with all the wars, debauchery, stag hunting, boar hunting, sword sharpening, eating, drinking and hunting for wives in Austria they had a little time left over for worship. But before it is too late we must go back outside.
See what happened there. . . . The sun moved! Duane knows the sun doesn't really move, but in this context it makes more sense to say it did. We'll have science lessons later. Duane spotted this tired young lady and just had to show you her shoes! Now remember this is a 3 hour minimum tour on cobble stone walkways, stone stone floors and gravel gravel in the garden. Her feet must be killing her.
Better to dress like this woman below and go with the natural look. Bare feet and all. This girl will feel much better at the end of the day. Duane is full of good advice like this if anyone is looking for some footwear tips.
Duane offered sunblock, but she said she was covered. Paula asked that we move along.
