Royal Palace Revisited

My second destination on my tourist day was the Royal Palace.  Quite frankly, the Royal Palace isn't all that exciting.  A lot of the nicer looking areas are closed off.  It's basically a bunch of pagodas, some have relics inside, and you can't really take pictures.  You can't take pictures because the sun is your enemy.  Nonetheless I tried.  I'm much more impressed by the gardens and plant life on the palace grounds than the pagodas themselves, that's what I took a lot of pictures of.  The place that I spent a lot of time was a small isolated pagoda up in a grove secluded from the rest of the area.  It had a lot of buddha statues and it was very quiet.  All you could hear was the cooing of birds.  Very peaceful and serene.  Truthfully, that's all there is to the Royal Palace, not that exciting.  :/

Till Next (and last) Time...
