Burns Night Ball 3

 Greetings

The day after the ball, we had booked a 'Behind The Scenes' tour of the Royal Pavilion.

The weather had taken a turn for the worse and it was rainy and very blustery. We decided that we would do the tour and then there was no point in staying Sunday night (even though we'd booked it) but to go home in the afternoon.

On the way to the Pavilion, I spotted a wonderful suit of Samurai armour in a restaurant. 

Sadly,at that time on a Sunday, the place was closed, so I had to take pictures through the window.




Then Teddy pointed out the illuminated floor...


Anyway... we got to the Pavilion and started the tour, which took us  through the hidden corridors in and under the Pavilion and told us of many interesting facts about it's history and construction.

We were even able to go up into one of the domes.




We saw the Kings bedchamber...


Some original Chinese silk wallpaper.




before ending up with the stained glass of the grand staircase.



When we got back to the hotel, we packed and checked out, then trundled our cases to the station.

Until next time

Adieu
