I didn't realize that the former King and Queen of Afghanistan had there own separate palaces...they are within sight of each other but still a good 1.5 miles away. Both buildings are damaged from the Taliban's wonderful destruction rampage across Afghanistan in the 90's. Despite their appearance up close, they sit in a very beautiful part of Kabul, nestled in valleys between rolling hills and wide-arched mountains. And the flowers are truly amazing here and at most locations here in Afghanistan. Discovered the rose's origin is here in Afghanistan and boy do they grow in some of the most interesting places...
We took a few hours to walk up to an old Russian Officer's club that was also near the palaces and from the top of the club we could see for miles over the gorgeous landscape.
Enjoy the photos and let them tell the rest of the story:)
