Day 7

---

I felt refreshed after more than 10 hours of sleep.

The next morning, we woke up at 6am, packed our gears, had breakfast in the morning sun, and headed back to the gate at 8am. It was only about 3 hours of down hill hiking in the rain forest terrain...it was a beautiful and relaxing hike.

I took my sweet time to enjoy the scenary. I saw colobus monkeys with black and white fur. A couple of them leaped from the tree on one side of the trail to the oppositing side.

On the last day and the easiest hike, I fell! I was holding the camera with my right hand, managing the trekking poles with my left hand, and was about to take a picture of the rain forest when I hit some loose gravels. I landed face up, still holding tight to my camera :P

We had a feast at noon - it was one of the best meal of the trek :)
The porters sang us the Kili song for the last time. They were eager to get their pay and head home to see their families.

After we said goodbyes to our porters, we piled into a few buses that took us back to the Keys Hotel. The first thought on everyone's mind was SHOWER!!! Ah... what a joy it was to step into the shower!

After we freshen up, we headed to Moshi for dinner at a local Indian restaurant. I guess the restaurant was not used to serving such a larger party at once (+30 people) - they soon ran out of food and wine. I ordered two dishes: only 1 order came....after 1.5 hour. I guess it was all part of the Tanzanian ("pole pole" - "slowly slowly") experience.
