Well we couldn't stay at the top of the mountain on day 5, so we made our way down to a safe altitude on a 3 hour hike, had a rest for a couple of hours and then headed down to our actual camp which took another 3 hours.
Day 6 was another 3 hour hike and we were complete!!!!
This is what we woke up to in the morning. You'll notice the trees and yes your eyes aren't deceiving you - those are clouds beyond the trees. It was an UNBELIEVABLE scene.....we were sleeping on (what felt like) the clouds!!!
The photo is of the 4 of us - Graham, our guides David & Athman, and myself. The other photo is our whole crew that included our cooks and porters.
Ok I know its tough - we trekked through the Rain Forest again!! I stopped for a little drink :)
After we got back to the hotel in Moshi, the first thing we did was sit down and have a Mount Kilimanjaro beer to celebrate!!! Their slogan is: If you can't climb it, drink it"......but we just beat the mountain: Man 1 - Mountain 0.
Congrats Graham to an unbelievable experience and a week's worth of self endurance and testing our limits every step of the way!!!!
Cheers!!!
