The crowds can be awful but you've got to see it. Personally I think the gardens are more interesting than the palace. Just make sure you check the fountain schedule on their site as the famous fountains are not always in use and you want to be sure to be there when they are.
This probably won't come as a big surprise to anyone, but the flower carpet tradition was started by the owner of a begonia company. Amazingly, once the basic outline is put in place, it takes workers only four hours to put the flowers in place!
A typical fishing hut, built on stilts above the ocean. In the A museum, you walk inside many of these buildings. The decor is 1850s, complete with rope fishing lines, hooks, row boats, wool fingerless gloves, and many more things that made me happy I live in the 21st century
