Palaces
Friday, October 17, 2014
The compound is like a mini fobbiden City, with each member of the family having their own area. The king and queen were only allowed to sleep together when the astrologers deemed it right in order to get the best prince. I believe the practise still endures with Wills and Kate having Mystic Meg on a retainer.
The secret garden stands behind the palace. Not so secret now judging by the interest in the tours. It is full of little temples and ponds, where the king would read and meditate.
Today took a trip out to another grand structure, a rather more modern one though as it was the site of the 1988 Summer Olympics. The park is lovely, with the autumn tints brought to life in the afternoon sunshine. There was some rock concert tuning up in the stadium itself. Defining from outside, must be torture in.
