25th Anniversary Celebrations

On the same evening we also celebrated the 25th year of Discovery Tours.

Unfortunately Jimmy Sierra was unable to be with us this year and we missed having him at the celebrations - he sure would have enjoyed the cake! What a surprise! When we ordered a cake we had no idea the Brook Hotel would come up with an elaborate tribute to Discovery Tours! Thanks to Sarah’s cousin for making it!
