Belgium's Royal Palace and its Gardens

We then took the city train (Metro) to the Royal Palace and Royal Palace Gardens, where we had our lunch while listening to classical music. There's a stage set up in the middle of the garden for musicians to perform and people can just sit around to enjoy music. We managed to take a few good pictures there starjumping - I thought my very sporting aunts how to star jump :):) .
In the Metro train






 The Royal Palace was really crowded as it’s a free entry site and loads of tourist busses just keep rolling up. There was quite a bit of a queue getting around inside, but its all well worth it with the beautiful deco. Must admit that it reminded me very much of the Versailles Palace that we saw in France.







There are many chandeliers in the palace, but the most interesting part of the visit is a chandelier made out of beetle's wings that glows in green!! Apparently 2 million beetle's wings were used to make that piece of art!!
