Hubby’s Birthday today. I had a little pressie for him, but no wrapping paper. So I popped it into a cloth bag and tied a bow using my pyjama pants! Ha ha! At least he had something to unwrap.

We hired bikes today so we spent a glorious day cycling around the city, taking in the atmosphere and stopping off to see museums and galleries.

We saw some interesting things, some beautiful things, and some peculiar things.

Inside the King’s Palace, there was an enormous Ivory Collection. All of the carvings are beautiful, but I do wonder about their methods in obtaining the ivory, so I found it a little unnerving seeing it en masse.

We finished the day at Cafe Vivaldi where we ate Pasta with grilled strips of beef tenderloin, creamy truffle sauce, mushrooms, watercress and parmesan.

Post Script: I think we did too much today… neither of us slept.
