|  | We are in the beautiful gardens of Versailles, where the fountains have just burst into life to the sound of classical music. |  | 
 
|  | Walking up the gardens we stopped for a freshly squozen orange juice which went down very well! |  | 
 
|  | By now the horse-drawn carriages and landaus were doing a great trade, taking visitors down to the Grand Canal and back. |  | 
 
|  | Apart from the flowers beds, lawns and fountains, the sculpture collection is extensive. |  | 
 
|  | Time crept on. The coach was returning for us at 1:00pm and if we wanted any dinner we would need to go looking for some. |  | 
 
|  | We started heading back along the terrace towards the palace and the exit from the gardens, ignoring the stony-faced annoying ice cream salesman... |  | 
 
|  | Leaving the palace grounds we went in search of food. Eating in required more time than we had.  The takeaway was not the cheapest! |  |
