Colonial living

While window-shopping this rainy Sunday, we were rather taken with the look of this "lifestyle" shop in Fish Hoek with its two East African guards. I am always amused by colonial-style decor - we Africans are trying to shake off the memory of colonialism, yet the concept is immensely popular in decor and in the luxury safari business.

  2. I have to agree. The colonial theme is VERY popular in game lodges.
