Sun Downer



We had a hearty lunch, hit the pool for about an hour or so then cleaned up to meet Eric in at the bar for a coffee before our afternoon game drive.


The game drive was just as amazing as all others. Lot's of animals and birds. We seen the Lion's again but this time there were only 3 so we were constantly looking behind us! :-)


We ended the afternoon on what seemed to be the tallest hill in the park. Kilimanjaro to one side and Lake Amboseli to the other. The lake hardly existed any more due to the dry climate.


Eric, in full Masai Warrior dress, set up a table, chairs and whipped up a few gin tonic's for us as the sun set to the west. It was a great place to be. As Jasmina put it, how can something so beautiful and peaceful be so dangerous?


We headed back to camp in the dark. We stopped at the same spot where the Lion's were last and yup, you could see the glare in their eye's from the truck's lamps. Amazing.


We invited Eric to join us for dinner (with permission from John) that evening. He was back to civilian dress and we had a good evening with great conversation.


It wasn't long before it was time to go to sleep.
