Mt. Kenya Safari Club, May 24, 2013

It was really nice relaxing day for Jim and I today. Having been to Sweetwaters a few times before, we thought we would stay behind to just 'chill' and enjoy the facilities at the club. After a leisurely breakfast we found out that they were going to move us to a nicer room than the one we had, as they hadn't realized before this that we were Fairmont Club members. The room had a wonderful balcony that we could sit on, & a fabulous view of Mt. Kenya. It was perfect!
Deb, Don, Mike and Daniel had a wonderful morning at Sweetwaters, seeing lots of animals.
