The Hotel Blue was a faded 1930s establishment that hasn't been decorated since! Over the top chintz furnishings, wallpaper and curtains, dusty mirrors, swirly carpets and a faint whiff of woodsmoke. It appeared to be run by teenagers who had flunked out of the customer relations course after half an hour. Lots of smiles, 'have a nice day' and ' no worries'.
We are still laughing over the breakfast incident in the dining room where mad jazz music was playing (same as the previous evening and adding to the bizarre atmosphere of the place) where a young Uriah Heap character shuffled up and obviously pretended to carefully write down our order. He returned some while later with 2 plates but not with the ingredients we had ordered. Maybe he was rushed off his feet? Maybe he got the wrong table? ........Obviously not though, because the other 16 tables in the dining room were empty! We weren't surprised at the wrong order, but we were surprised he managed to get it to the dining room!
Echo Point this morning in clear weather. Enormous views that the camera can't do justice to. We won't go on about the beauty of this and the Leura cascades, here are the pictures.
Houses in Leura are very quaint and English in feel with some 30s details like patterned stained glass windows and lawned gardens.
