Days 26 - 28 (June 16 - 18)

Day 26 (June 16) - Kibo Hut Today was the hardest hike yet - 4.5hrs up to 4700m (15,000ft). We hiked another hour up the mountain to acclimatize, and I had a very bad headache. We ate around 6pm and went to bed at 7pm. Wake-up call at 11:30pm...

Day 27 (June 17) - Horombo Hut We were woken up for coffee at 11:30pm, and we were on our way to the peak around 12:20am. Our goal was to make the 6.5hr hike to the summit in time for sunrise. It was rough. Very cold, and my head was killing me. But I was all there in the head, so no worries. Took some Advil and head was cured, but I felt terribly sick. Anyway, we made it!

Day 28 (June 18) - Arusha Hiked down to the main gate and caught bus to Arusha...
