Il ne faut rien oublier car les magasins seront loin là-bas!! Vendredi, nous receverons notre sac de couchage que nous avons loué et on pourrait faire l'essai final à savoir si nous avons l'espace nécessaire dans notre sac. À suivre...

Today is our last day on the mountain. We have to do the final descend to Moshi town. We started the day with nice breakfast, the last meal cooked for us by the guides. We gave some clothes and tip to all the porters, and said thanks for the wonderful trip. This is the last we will see them. After yesterday's 10000ft descend, today's looks like a child's play. The trail has also eased up a but and there are less stones on the way. After the wonderful summit, nothing else matters. So we head on down, all delighted, what we did yesterday is still sinking in. Now we can enjoy the plants and flowers that are unique to kilimanjaro. Rains did make the way very muddy and we were faced with muddy slippery path towards ... read more

thought1: oh my god! its so beautiful, i am top of the world! thought2: i am walking in desert of rajasthan thought3: right there, that is the peak, it will be over soon! thought4: who are all these strange people thought5: its afternoon and i am walking in desert thought6: the peak is right there! it will be over soon! That is what was going on in my head when I was heading towards the summit of Kilimanjaro at 19,000ft.+ They say altitude makes you delirious, and I know what they means. When we were woken up from a short nap, all the snow and clouds of last night were gone, and we were looking at a clear sky with full-moon shining like a big lamp. Needless to say, it was cold, but we were prepared. ... read more

We have a 4 day climb ahead of us on the Lemosho route. This was suppose to be a scenic route and we were looking forward to the climb, of course with a lot of apprehension about making to the summit. The start of Lemosho route is a little ways away from the town and we had to get there by a jeep. This was end of rainy season so there was a lot of left over rain from day before. The jungle roads had become impassable, full of mud. At one point the guides decided to remove all the gear / food from the jeeps which porters will carry by foot. Instead a jeep will take just the tourists to the start point. I almost wished that we also walked with the porters. The jeep ... read more

Christmas over and Kilimanjaro climb done too. What an adventure! To give a snapshot. We climbed the Lemosho route which take 8 days and takes in rainforest, moonscape type terrain and steep steep climbs. This was all done “pole pole,” Swahili for slowly slowly which was necessary to deal with acclimatising to the altitude of 5,958m. It was also known as the wilderness route as not so many people use it so we were often the only group on the track. Whoever has said that this is an easy mountain to climb has either never done it or is talking out of their hole!!! We had very good conditions throughout but this climb was harder than any other mountain, triathlon or marathon I have done! Rach was awesome and I was knocked away by her grit ... read more
