Lucky lion
Beautiful view, isn't it? What a lucky lion, getting to look out over the city 365 days a year. We're back at Rhodes Memorial today, and this is one of 8 bronze lions that line the steps of the memorial. They're pretty large - I would estimate them to each be around 2m in length. Looking at this view, I'm sure you can understand why this was Cecil John Rhodes's favourite thinking spot.

When I was a little girl, my family used to go to the Easter Sunday sunrise service held at the memorial each year - you can only imagine what a wonderful experience it was to watch the sun rise over the city from this vantage point, whilst munching on a warm hot-cross bun.
