Buckingham Palace Summer Opening
The Buckingham Palace has opened it's doors again to the public. After 30 miuntes in a looong queue we finally made it. Naturelich equipped with a program and headphones we felt honoured to be admitted into the State Rooms of Buckingham Palace. The visit was well worth the money! Actually walking through the rooms everyone has seen to some extend on television is an astonishing and marvelous experience. Although the modesty of Her Royal Majesty is well-known, but I have to say: these rooms make you feel the power the British Empire has.
We were particularly impressed with the pieces of art: paintings by Rubens, Rembrandt, Vermeer, incredible Sèvres porcelaine and wonderful pieces of furniture. You ain't seen nothing yet! To put it in a nutshell: 12 GBP very well invested! More details on the official pages of the British Monarchy.
