Man Ki Lee Diary Entries 4th of June, 2007

Today we are going to Royal Palace (Palacio Real) in Bailen S/N, Madrid. We catch Bus 3 to Opera station to the Royal Real. We got this direction from our friend we meet from the hotel bistro. This friend of ours show us a lot of places worth of going. Because he also lives in the hotel so we will farewell together on our last night in Spain. He also gave us his room number so we can contact. Luckily, he taught us a few important words we can use in this trip to assist service in the restaurant. When we get there, we realise we can pay concession price and we also got a leaflet about the Palace. To me Palacio Real is a castle. It has a lots of rooms are already open for tourist to see. Some of their rooms are for state business use. The story about the palace made me feel very romantic. The story is about Philip V, Spain's first Bourbon king, who missed his beloved Versailles so much that he tried to re-create the French palace's lavish rococo splendor on Castilian soil.
