More palace photos

These are more garden shots. These are small gardens up against the wall. This door is a gate into the 'secret garden'. During the royal family's reign, only the family was allowed to enter it. Now it is part of the tour. There are some photos below.

This is a door into the secret garden but we did not enter it through this gate.

Yes, this is another building, sorry I'm not more informative.

Here we are entering into a smaller palace that the last of the royal family lived in.

These buildings are very long and narrow. They consist of several rooms, all with doors into the inner courtyard.

This photo was taken through one of the two windows above. This is the back courtyard but we were not allowed to go in there.

Here is Joann sitting in front of the building from two shots above. The wood detail is quite amazing.

You guessed, me standing in front of a door!



This is Joann on the road into the secret garden.

The first shot of the garden. The pond has lotus flowers in it, they are not in bloom now, however.

This is the lotus building, as it is beside the lotus pond.

This is a gate that leads to the library which is also in the secret garden.

I think this gate has something to do with horses, maybe the horse gate. The teachers in the photo are Erin, Farah, Molly and Joann.

Here is Joann at the gate that is supposed to keep you from getting old.
