Danish Royal Residences

[Tulip of Nonsense]

Strange that in a city so wonderfully decorated and lit up with most awesome Christmas lights the Amalienborg Palace remains as dark as the royal secrets well hidden...  But may be I'm missing something here, being a new resident of Copenhagen and all that...

So you moved house to Copenhagen?

Seem to me a wonderful city to live. After some holidays to Scandinavia avoiding Copenhagen, this summer we finally had a short visit to the city. I really enjoyed it. Unfortunately after some quiet time in the country before the city life had some heavy impact on us.

Yes we now live in Copenhagen enjoying it all to the full. We're quite a 'wanderlusty' family, always going and coming, experimenting, adapting, challenging the world and ourselves.  We've got some modest accommodations in a few countries, but because of my extreme photosensitivity we can't spend much time in the south...  and then work of course. So Denmark it is. Love the place! Btw, we've lived in the Netherland as well,  and we loved it for so many reasons.

Last night we took our evening walk on Amalien's (poorly lit but guarded  ) square, as we often do. Some windows in the residence were brightly on display, so we could witness some loud splendour of the royal interior...

Ooh!  Fascinating!  What did it look like?

/Ooh!  Fascinating!  What did it look like? /


Ha-ha-ha Pixie!  Serves me right, as it were, but I couldn't resist...

Well, there were some big classic paintings on the wall upstairs, portraits in fact, then some smaller ones downstairs, massive astonishing chandeliers, some tasty ornaments on the ceiling, heavy curtains artistically arranged - that sort of thing one can see in your average royal palace  The rooms looked quite cosy to me. No people around though...
