Jambo Everyone

We are still here on Kilimanjaro!

After a good nights rest and a full breakfast with plenty of coffee the team set off uphill for day two. We only hiked for a short while before the rain sadly returned, but we continued to persevere as we did yesterday. It was a pretty wet day so we took our time to stay safe and arrived in camp a little over 5 hours of being on the move. The team is doing well and in good spirits and very much looking forward to some much needed sunshine.

We have enjoyed some delicious warm meals and joyous conversations in our dinning tent which has helped keep the morale high.

If anyone back home is play “the rain in Africa” by Toto. Please turn it off!
