    Sightseeing in Moshi

    October 8, 2007 in Tanzania ⋅ ⛅ 73 °F

    I slept like a rock last night. I think it was sheer exhaustion after being awake for 30 hours straight. We got up around 8 and had breakfast at the hotel. We were slowly joined by the other members of our group. We then met Faheem, who let us ask a lot of questions about the trip. Not sure what Jim is going to do, as he is afraid of heights. Can't imagine what he was thinking, knowing it is a 19K foot mountain, one would think there might be some high spots????? At 11 we met our three guides for the climb. They went over our rental gear and the climb. Afterward, they came to our rooms to make sure we had all our gear. After lunch we went in to town to use the internet. The locals wear clothing with an array of bright colors. The people are friendly and we are already used to saying jambo (hello) on sight. We start the climb tomorrow, so we'll be out of range for over a week. Wish us luck.Read more
