That's the TV, isn't it?

These are 2 last shots of our room, namely the sitting area complete with TV, armchair, flat panel TV and a lamp that looks like a hair dryer.
3. Hallway that is very dark and with green accent lighting, reminds me of the hallway at the end of the first Matrix movie where Mr. Smith meets his match!
4.Reception area near elevators, like a timewarp fromt he early 60's!

Interesting decor, great photos!

I like the way they ran the flooring up one wall, makes me think of Fred Astaire or Gene Kelly.

It's a really interesting room. I've never seen a layout like that, and the decor is wild.

Room 420 is non-smoking?

As far as I know!

HungLikeJesus · 03-17-2009, 02:39 PM

The mysterious first floor???

Americans always make floor #1 as the lobby/ground floor but SA is like most European countries and G is Ground. We accidendaly hit the button for #1 and this is what we got... a sheet of plywood. Apparently no one goes to the first floor here...

This morning it was birds... I went to a nearby bird refuge with the big lenses; the 800mm and the 100-400mm. Here are 4 out takes. Not many intersting migratory birds yet, these are mostly stay at home birds.

I'm still really jealous Chris. Thanks for the pics!

I went to the top of Table Mountain today on the cable car. I never did that before and I felt like a real tourist. It was colder then shit up there and really windy, it's about 3050 meters above sea level.
