Dec 7 (con't.) Kidani Village, Part 2.
(This is still a continuation of the timeline, but is all situated in Kidani Village...)
Arrived back at Kidani at about 1:30p, and
walked around Kidani before getting back to the room. Investigated
the pool area (we decide we're going to come back later for a drink),
Pembe savanna, bought a coffee cup and a shot glass at the gift shop,
and toured the animal viewing area in Sunset Savanna.

On the way to the elevators, we took a look at the menu and decided to eat at Sanaa for lunch.
We were one of three parties in Sanaa, and we each got our own window
into the Sunset Savanna. It's quite obvious that the animals get paid
more to hang out around Sanaa and the animal viewing area. We had the
appetizers for two. PiC didn't like the Samosas (too spicy, she's a
wimp), but the lamb meatballs (aka the Kefta) and cauliflower were
pretty good, especially with their accompanying sauces. PiC had the
tandoori chicken, and I had the grilled pork chop, both very good.
I'd eat there again.

Back to room, watched Up. You know the movie. Enjoyed it until it got stupid. If you've seen it, then you know where. If you haven't, watch it, and you'll say, "Boy, that's stupid." (No spoilers, please.) We were supposed to meet with Russo today, but it's the only day he can get out to MK to see the Castle Lights, so we reschedule for Tuesday. I let Laura know.
The sun's set, and we walk out to the pool again, got a couple of
Adult Beverages. Upon reflection I should have brought my coffee cup
with some scotch, but then I'd have an empty coffee cup, and I just
can't deal with whiskey from a plastic cup yet. 'Cars' is the pool
movie tonight. As I'm ordering the drinks, my favorite scene appears
on the screen, backwards, since it's a rear projection set-up, and
we're in the rear...

Took night pictures around Kidani. Went into the children's play
area, even though we didn't have a kid with us. Bad guests. Up the
stairs, and out the CM gate. Bad guests again. Although from the
kid's area, there's a sign for the bathroom that points up the stairs,
and there's nothing to indicate the gate is CM's only until you're on
the other side. Took pics of the entrance, the lobby and the animal
viewing area. Went back to the room. Tuesday's okay with Laura, so
I set a time to meet, and invite Jack. And we called it an early
night...
