OUR STAY AT NARO MORU RIVER LODGE; The gifts God keeps giving..

~ ~It is coming from my heart, praise and thanks unto You Lord. All the things that You have done I'm grateful for Your love, I give You the praise , I'm counting my blessings I just can't keep it to myself when I thought that He had done too much oh oh oh Jesus did it again~ ~

This song by Sinach has been the song in our hearts since we were joined as husband and wife, because God has done a lot for us and when we think that He has done too much, He surprises us again with something else.

I shared here before that we won a honeymoon package and shared our experience, it was exciting and all we could say is thank God, because He is the giver of ALL good things. When we came back from the honeymoon, the manager from Naru Moru River Lodge, called 'bae' and offered us two nights for free and we had the liberty to choose when we would visit!  So we chose to go there to celebrate 'bae's' birthday and I just had to share how awesome this place is and probably get more people to visit the place.

I will explain through pictures, here we goooooo.....

The sign at the reception( so that you get their logo)

We checked in and welcomed by a glass of juice and  shown to our cosy cottage....

The view of the room and the fire place...oooh and my feet

I forgot to mention that we traveled with our bikes and as soon as we were done with lunch we were off to cycle in the high altitude and explore the area....

Bae looking cool....I wanted to rest too so I bought time by taking pics

That is me at the back faking a smile after almost giving up on the cycle

Back at the hotel after the 15km high altitude cycle....(it was tough!)

Evidence of the 15km cycle

We freshened up after the intense cycle and went on to have dinner  and guess what the hotel did? They set us up on a cosy little corner to have a candle lit dinner....Due to lack of pictures of the food, I will just say the meal was top notch!!

My date..:-)

The dinning area...isn't it beautiful

We then retired to our room, since the place got a bit chilly and we had to take advantage of the fire place in our cottage...

The fire man a.k.a bae lit the room and it became a 'lit' night...hehe see what I did there?

For day two, we had planned to go for a day hike at Mt. Kenya and we were  off by 9am to go for this, It would be my first time but for bae, I have lost count of how many times he has been there.

We got into a bit of car trouble and we were not able to do the climb but managed to reach the gate in the evening and see some water bucks. The biggest lesson for us with the experience we had on day two was; we may make our plans but God has the final say, to be honest before we left for this trip we had thought of cancelling the hike and just go cycling due to the financial implication and to add to this, I forgot my hiking boots and my thermal jacket but we still insisted on going for the hike,up until we got the car trouble. 

We took it as a sign of God giving us several opportunities to stop and ask Him what He wanted us to do but we still insisted on our plan and failed to notice He was speaking to us......we were reminded to always rely on Him because we ended up spending much more than we expected and did not get a chance to do anything 'fun' that day....anyway...I will let the pictures speak from here....

We got to the gate of the park (atleast)

Went back to the hotel and explored the area,....

So, that was our stay at Naro Moru River lodge, it is an awesome place for a weekend gateway, team building, etc...we loved it and we thank God for the opportunity to visit the place for FREE!!!...Lol...Indeed God has been good to us.....we look forward to the next adventure....we will be going back to climb the mountain soon......adios!
