Airport Acrobatics

Jeremy and I have a 0730 flight from Stansted, so the obvious thing is the dreaded airport hotel.  The Radisson Blu, in our case because it is walking distance from the terminal.

We got to the hotel, and from the check in area you can see the top of a blue backlit tower with dark objects in it.  A three story high tower in the middle of the atrium, enclosed in pexiglass.  "What is that?" asked Jeremy.  Since of course I didn't know, I gave a standard (i.e., ridiculous) fatherly answer: "Wine rack."

The joke was on me.  It is a wine rack.

Wine is retrieved acrobatically, and artistically, on wires, by the staff.  Magically floating up, swimming back down headfirst, walking on the glass like Spider-Man...

Almost made it worth the drink prices.
