Excess in Excess

Today  we had tickets for a visit to the Royal Palace.
Boy is it good to be the King.

The saying is 
"Nothing Succeeds Like Success"

In this case  it is 
Nothing Exceeds Like Excess.






Look at this, they had set the table ready for us and we had just had lunch!


As photography is not allowed in the palace, these are actually pictures of post cards bought in the palace gift shop.
Hey, even the King needs to make a buck wherever he can.



The royal palace.


On the other side of the courtyard is the cathedral.


Guess who?

If the King had known she was coming she would have been on the other side of the bars.


Lots of aristocratic families have been supporters of music over the centuries;  the Spanish Royal family included.

In one room, they have on display, the instruments for a quartet.

Two violins, a viola and a cello.
Each made by Stradivarius!
Now if you had those in the bank....
