During my mom's visit we spent some time exploring the gardens at Caserta Palace. The Palace construction began in 1752. The palace itself has over 1200 rooms and almost 1800 windows. (It was built to rival Versailles.) It was actually used in two of the Star Wars films (The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones as Queen Jamillia's Palace) and in Mission Impossible (the scene where the Lamborghini blows up). The gardens run for three km!!! There is actually an aqueduct the length of them that brings water from the cascading falls in the hills to the palace. It is a beautiful place but it could be absolutely amazing. It really could take a page from Disney's book. That said we all enjoyed our time there and Kyle still finds it quite amusing that the fish ate Vika's entire baggy of Cheerios!
