When I checked into "The Rhino Room" here at the African Pearl Guest House, I was delighted to find the walls covered in murals of Kenyan wildlife. But when I got ready to go to bed, I could not for the life of me find the light switch. I was trying to figure out how to unscrew the light bulb, which was completely out of reach, when I did one more thorough search and discovered the switch hidden in this painting next to the bed. And after 3 days of cold showers, I asked the housekeeping lady if there was a secret to getting hot water. Her response? "Yes...move to a room that has hot water."

Bait and Switch
Malindi, Kenya:

But when I got ready to go to bed, I could not for the life of me find the light switch. I was trying to figure out how to unscrew the light bulb, which was completely out of reach, when I did one more thorough search and discovered the switch hidden in this painting next to the bed. And after 3 days of cold showers, I asked the housekeeping lady if there was a secret to getting hot water. Her response? "Yes...move to a room that has hot water."
