		Sweden will never be a democracy so long as they have a royal family who are simply born into a life of priveledge paid for by taxpayers.

		On Thursday we faced the drive back to Sweden, choosing a different itinerary and staying all the way on the E 10 which takes in its Norwegian section the name of Kong Olavs V (King Olaf's way).
		The palace is really beautiful, although it's less than 100 years old, and it's made in the "national romantic" style, which defines a composite style with strong influences from Italian and Spanish renaissance, but with a lot of variations, like a breathtaking hall all covered with gold- layer mosaics with an art deco influence.
		We visited Drottningholm palace, one of the nine royal palaces of Sweden, and one of the most praised, but really I wouldn't say that it can compete with palaces like Versailles or Schonbrunn.

		Though the exposition was located a measly five blocks from his magnificent palace, King Alphonso deemed it too far away and had a 150 room pad built only two blocks away from the exposition which I guess allowed him to be closer to the action.
		I visited the royal palaces in Sweden, Denmark, Norway, The Netherlands and England but the Palacio Real in Madrid so far, has them all beat.
