150 concubines & a Golden Library: Part 1 of Bangkok’s most iconic temples! We kicked off our tour at the Grand Palace, and it’s even more breathtaking than the photos. Here is what you need to know: 🏰 The "Hybrid" Palace: See that building? It’s Chakri Maha Prasat. The King wanted a European palace (like Buckingham Palace), but his court insisted on traditional Thai roofs. The result? A stunning East-meets-West masterpiece! 🤫 The Inner City Secrets: Did you know that a "forbidden city" existed within these walls? At one point, over 150 concubines and wives of the King lived here in a private female-only society. No other men except the King were allowed to enter! 🙏 The Emerald Buddha: Thailand’s holiest treasure. It’s carved from a single piece of jade and is so sacred that only the King can touch it to change its seasonal clothes. 👹 Demons turned Guardians: Those giant, colorful statues were once powerful demons. After being defeated in the ancient legends, they were "hired" to serve as eternal protectors of the temple. 🌸 A Ritual for Luck: We were sprinkled with holy water using a lotus bud for good fortune and happiness. 📚 The King’s Library: That massive golden building (Phra Mondop) houses ancient scriptures on silver floors. It's so exclusive that only the King has access. Save this for your Bangkok bucket list! 📌 Which of these facts surprised you the most? The 150 concubines or the golden library?

La giornata comincia a Palermo. Una sveglia seguita da un rifornimento di gasolio. Tutto fila liscio, i programmi sono di arrivare a Cefalù prima dello scroscio previsto nel pomeriggio. Sgranchiamo un po’ le gambe a Julia! Issiamo randa e apriamo genoa. Avanti tutta! Sorrisoni, buona musica, vele piene e sole a palla. Finché una coltre di nubi all’orizzonte non fa il suo ingresso in scena. Tutto pare rispettare le previsioni, compresa l’incudine di nuvole preannunciante il temporale. Arriviamo, ormeggiamo… e?? Nulla. Che belle sorprese i temporali che sfogano prima del tuo arrivo altrove. Così, asciutti, lavoriamo. Facciamo call, operatività e sistemiamo problemi che abbiamo con alcuni fornitori… Normale routine insomma. Il tramonto diventa come al solito protagonista e viene guardato anche da Mia in prima fila. Domani ci aspettano parecchie miglia: letto presto e sveglia ancora più presto. A domani, con una sorpresa su Julia😊
