A bit of bad news from Sasa (Zograf) in Serbia. The astoundingly weird and uncomfortable Hotel Tamis in Pancevo has closed down! I mean, it was horrible, a dark, dingy relic of Soviet days set right on the river, which made it mosquito heaven. It was also full of spiders that seemed to be designed by Giger,and staffed by 'Lurch' clones on both sexes. Absolute hell, but endless inspiration for cartoons. ...I'd always hoped to get back there,sometime; damn! In addition to the general weirdness, there was a kind of 'Alice in Wonderland quality to the furniture in the bedrooms. Everything seemed to be child-sized, and set very close to the floor. Really tall people must have been incredibly uncomfortable. Oh yes, and the stained sheets didn't fit the single beds properly, as they were 'doubles' cut in half!
Wotta dump, it will be missed,
