Chateau de Versailles

9am bus again to go to the Palace of Versailles.
There were people queueing and our guide said by the size of the queue, some of them would have to wait three hours to get in. Because it was a public holiday yesterday, Thursday, many people have taken the Friday off as well to make a long weekend - just like we would. They call it a bridge - meaning it's a bridge between the Thursday and the weekend.
The beauty of being in a group is that you have a designated time - 10.15, in we went.
What a crush? Thousands of people shuffling around trying to take pictures.
We found the building opulent, ostentatious, obscene... room after room after room - it just became overload. The gardens are amazing but after shuffling through the Palace, we only had half an hour left to have a quick look.
Tonight it's a girlie show - so bring on the dancing girls.Read more
