Hotel de Leopol

This is a nice hotel in Addis Ababa, close to the airport. Their brochure, however, has some fascinating advertising statements:

"The clean bathroom with it toiletries and the harmonizing towel, makes you want not to leave that room."

"The studio rooms provide the added advantage of haring a room for sole but at the same time keep to your cozy way of sleeping in a solitary but relaxed bed."

"[The restaurant] is the perfect place for romantic dinner with your family. Enjoy with our set meal family pack.
Please note. Every Friday and Saturday special candle light dinner for newly couples."

Hospital with a view

The Kenyatta National Hospital is the grey building with turrets, easily in view of the Nairobi National Park and the giraffes. I guess it is about 2 miles away, perhaps less. One can see the park from the wards but not closely enough to see the animals. Wilson Airport is the nearest human edifice in this picture.

Sound advice
