More about the Egyptian embassy

After some reactions to the previous post I realized that the Frolik account of Charlie's murder at the Egyptian embassy caused, among other things, also major confusion regarding the understanding of distance between the Esplanade Hotel, where Charlie stayed, and the then Egyptian embassy.

All that shall be said is that after changing his room to get one with a street view, Charlie was looking at the Egyptian embassy from his hotel window - across the railway tracks, yes, but still he saw its windows. And the people at the embassy saw his window.

The following photos are recent, both the trees and the railway station grew since 1967 - but I bet you get the idea.

And this is the then Embassy as seen from the street in front of Esplanade hotel




Nice garden, and there is a detached garage as well... some local sources say the garage is where Charlie died.
