Monday December 4th
With this being the last full day of the trip we opted for one of the major tourist magnets in the city, the Royal Palace. We reach it by Skytrain and ferry to enjoy the river journey again as it's close to one of the jettys.
The palace is a large complex of practical and ceremonial buildings much of which is open to the public. Build over the last 225 years there is a lot to see from the "Emerald Budda" to the different styles of royal architecture.
The amount of decoration is impressive and they now have an interesting exhibit about maintenance over the years with some of the old carvings and ornaments that were replaced.
We were supposed to meet Mike but were delayed by the slowness of transportation in the city and missed him. So we took a walk to find a place to eat and ended up at a recommended vegetarian restaurant with meat and fish options and enjoyed a quiet evening.
