No cobwebs at this daddy long legs!

We had a very colouful stay at the hip Daddy Long Legs Boutique Hotel in Cape Town. Situated on vibrant Long Street in the heart of the city, the hotel has 15 or so rooms, each of which has been uniquely decorated by a local artist, photographer, poet or musician.

Part of the fun of the hotel is staying in a different room each night, although Jack was not too pleased about having to pack and unpack so many times.

First we enjoyed the very elegant Protea Room (see above) inspired by South Africa's national flora, the protea. Then it as onto the Photo Booth (see below), which has 100s of small photos stuck to the walls to create large portrait of the artist's parents. Our final stop was in a room called "Please Do Not Disturb" which features a fully functional kareoke machine, microphones hanging from the ceiling and astroturf for carpet.
