We start our trek to the top of Kilimanjaro in the next couple of hours. First we have about a 2 hour drive through the national forest and then on into the national park that encloses Kilimanjaro. Before we can enter the park we are required to weigh all our items. No person is allowed to carry over 25kgs, that is about 55lbs. I already had to put my sleeping bag in Vanessa's porters bag because my duffle is a tad heavy. I have re-packed it though, so it may be a little lighter... Not!
Our hike today will be about 1.5 hours and we will be staying at Big Tree Camp. I wonder what wild noises we will hear tonight; last night it was the bats making their little whistles and dropping food on the tin roof, which didn't bother me, but it kept Vanessa up.
Hopefully I will have service so I can post a picture when we get to our first stop.
Love, K
