This is the breakfast room and the lounge. Quite a delightful place. The group would usually meet here in the morning after breakfast as we awaited pick-ups from Roché or Desiree or made plans for the day.

The four artists in the foreground were busy creating high-end mosaic tables for a fancy hotel in Capetown.
