Return and farewell

Time to descent to camp and the three-hour downhill battle turned into a couple of extra hours. The weather was absolutely gorgeous with clear blue sky. We took the opportunity to break more than scheduled in order to absorb the stunning view and for once feel the warmth of the sun. What a perfect stunning day on the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro. It was for sure not an easy walk down and several of us unwillingly took the hills a little faster than expected.

We reached camp around noon and due to one of our fellow climbers got symptoms of altitude sickness we packed up, had lunch and were on our way down again to the next camp within the next 1hour. And the rain started and it rained and rained for the duration of the day and when we finally went to bed it were with a great joy of knowing it was the last night in the damp tent as the following day twe would be back at “Moshi Hilton” for our first shower in 8 days.

The following day we walked the rainforest during the morning hours and enjoyed the final part of the Mount Kilimanjaro adventure. The rain forrest was absolutely stunning and very peaceful with the many unfamiliar birds and great view of  the tick vegetation and trees. We strolled down to civilization and was picked up by our bus there took us back to "Hotel Hilton" in Moshi.
