Ut på tur aldrig sur

On Sunday I was doing my Scandinavian City tour as per usual and Pia and Martin decided to come along. Even though they have lived here, they have never really been tourists, so why not!

The Louvre wasn't open last year either when they came to visit, so that was a new experience for them. I never get tired of visiting there.

The last wing unfortunately was still closed (because of re-hanging and adding of new artwork), so they missed out on the last few galleries, but some of the newest acquisitions were already on display.

Like this beautiful Ottoman (15-16th century) horse armour. One of only about 20 known in the world. This photo doesn't make it justice, it's massive, and stunning!

It was also the first time they ever did a guided visit to the Grand Mosque, so at the end of the day they came away with loads of new information thanks to their knowledgeable guide..!
