Wednesday was a long night, so we took our time Thursday morning, but we still had a busy day! We went to Drottningholm Palace, an active home for the King and Queen. Parts are open to public tours. Unfortunately, we found that there were too many stairs for Janie to negotiate, and it was also unfortunate that no photos were allowed inside. Janie and Annalena waited patiently outside, while Tim and I went through an English-language tour. I wish I could show you photos of the elaborate decor from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries! I did manage to copy this photo of Hedvig Eleonora’s state bedchamber from the 1600’s off the official website for the palace.
Outside the palace was also interesting, and the grounds also include the Court Theater. Still in use, the theater auditorium is unchanged since its completion in 1766.
