European Vacation - Day 4

Versailles is spectacular. Although it was a cloudy day the golden gates and the gold trim on the roof still shined. It was sunny for a short period and it glowed. The hall of mirrors was bright even with the curtains closed. If megalomania built the Louvre, imagine the guy who built this place.

As far as the tour goes, the only peeve I have is that the route through the museum is serial. In at the entrance and out the exit. Security stops you from doubling back at the numerous check points.  We missed the restaurant and were told we could get to it by starting the tour over. Thankful we were still in the museum and wouldn't have to go back through ticketing. Instead we went out through the side entrance and had lunch at a small cafe instead. Much cheaper too.
