Monday night was the celebrations in the city for the Grand Duke's birthday. Abigail picked us up and we met Bonita at Amelia & Martins apartment, so together with their guests we trooped off to the city. We arrived at our usual spot by the palace just in time to see the army march past but unfortunately that is all we saw as the route of the procession had been changed. Emilie was most miffed as it was the first time she had been allowed to stay up to see it. Still we had a good view of the fireworks at the end of the evening. We had a good giggle at the rubbish left behind.
