The Palace of Wonders was a great science museum with things from a vellodrome to optical illusions to giant tables and chairs. The museum had three floors packed with information and experiments. Vera, after we left and asked what her favorite thing was she responded by saying "well I liked everything". The best things on each floor were probably the human yo-yo, the vellodrome and the giant's table and chairs for the first floor then on the second was the maze of mirrors and finally on the third floor was a camera that took a picture of your shadow.
The horse "circus" was amazing. People were riding horses standing up and trapeze artists doing tricks while the horses controlled the strings and the most amazing of all: horses tap dancing. They played all sorts of popular music, Thriller (Michael Jackson) and a medley of "My Fair Lady" songs. They even had the horse man's kids do a dance with some tiny horses.
What a wonderful place! You must have had to stay there all day to see so much. I would not like to be the human yo-yo, would you? You have to wonder how people think of some of these things! What is a "vellodrome?"
