Anyway, upon our arrival, Nesrin met us at the apartment door. This apartment is directly in the city center and almost all the museums and monuments are in walking distance. We explored and went grocery shopping. There is no AC in the apartment, but we do have a fan.
Today, Thursday, we will go to the museums to keep cool.
We did just that. Walked to the Royal Palace and wandered around for awhile. The king was away, so he couldn't greet us personally, so he sent his staff. It was quite comfortable there.
Then we went to the five museums. They are right next door and when we went in we were told that since we were of such an ancient age, we would get in free because the king did not want the elderly to suffer in the hot weather.
Let me try to explain. There are five museums at the Royal Museum. There is only one entrance. When you get your ticket, it is good for all. If you get an audio device, you need to tell them which one you will start with so they can code in the related program. We picked the ‘Old Masters’. The AC in the museum was working very well and we had already decided to stay until they close at five. Let me tell you, we didn’t complete even 2/3rds of the Old Masters and it was five already.
We left (temp 101) then and on the way home we found a festival just starting up. We decided to attend. Had normal festival stuff, loud music, beer, a mister, volleyball, beer, table tennis, beer and sangria, food and a lot of perspiration. Stayed awhile and had a couple beverages, then decided it was too hot and came back to the apartment. had snacks and watched Dunkirk movie.
