As with our city visits before, today would be a coach tour of the town, to visit the major monuments and to learn a little about the history of the place.
First stop was the Royal Palace, a massive and beautiful complex in the centre of town containing temples, state buildings and the residence of the Royal family. Although he was at home, apparently the King was too busy to pop out to see us. Highlights ...
