I will start off with an apology for the quality of some of the photos. They were scanned into computer files while I was having issues with scanner and unaware until it was too late. I have tried (not too successfully) to repair photos with Photoshop but I keep and share these for the interest in the locations.
The Royal Pavilion is an extraordinary and extravagant pleasure palace. Built for the Prince Regent, later King George IV, in stages between 1787 and 1823.
The Royal Pavilion started as a modest 18th century farmhouse. Architect Henry Holland helped George, Prince of Wales, transform his humble seaside retreat into a handsome Neo-classical villa.
In the early 19th century, after George IV had succeeded his father as king and hired the eminent architect John Nash, to design the building as it is seen today.
George enjoyed entertaining and surrounded himself with courtiers and fashionable society guests. At the Royal Pavilion he hosted gastronomic feasts in the Banqueting Room, and balls and concerts in the Music Room.
Prague was one stop on a vacation to Budapest, Prague and Berlin. All were remarkable. In Prague the Golden Lane was the main passage and entrance way into the castle enclosure and lined with some shops dealing in tourist items; mostly handcrafts.
