The end of a long day .....

Day one finds us trekking through rainforest for 10km, which is half way up Kili. The day starts off hot and sweaty and got worse through the day, though the porters seem to keep smiling and saying 'Hakuna Matata' which I didn't even realise was Swahili! But cheers of Jambo (hello) and Mambo (How are you) soon deteriorated to grunts and nods. We reach camp about 7pm and it's dusk. With the sun setting it was beautiful but lasts no time at all. The stars are incredible but it's too bloody cold to appreciate them!! We are all wrapped up in thermals and layers drinking cocoa, goodnight guys, sweet dreams. Sean xx
