Keep up the great work and progress. I hope everyone is feeling better and acclimating to the altitude. I wish I could see the beauty you wake up to everyday. Enjoy the gorgeous full moon! It must be spectacular from your location!

Enjoy that beautiful city! From underground in the subways to the glories of the Hermitage amid memories of the long siege—it is a glorious city. So glad you are having a chance to visit it. MA

Down off the mountain and now you get to visit a city that many of my friends and relatives want to visit or have visited and think it is great. Have fun and enjoy Mom and Granny

Shortly after breakfast, Tim and I turned our duffle bags over for weigh in. We received our boarding passes for the flight to Antarctica. We’re set!
It seemed like the perfect time to stretch our legs and so we set off to the south along the shoreline for several miles. Our goal was the picturesque old hulk of the ship “Lord Lonsdale” We were back at the hotel by midday which was perfect timing as the afternoon and evening brought steady rain. We got in a bit more exercise anyway, walking to dinner to join some of the folks who will be alongside us on Vinson.
It was a fine gathering with plenty of excitement for what tomorrow may bring. The flight is on for tomorrow morning but of course we are anxious to get confirmation of that good and early tomorrow.
Best Regards,
RMI Guide Dave Hahn

Hello again everyone
The team had a really nice day here on Kilimanjaro today, waking to mostly clear skies and hiking in just a light cloud layer which help keep us cool. We started the day waking at 6:30 to start packing up before moving into our dinning tent for a nice breakfast with porridge, fried eggs, toast, avocado and even some fresh fruit, and most importantly plenty of hot coffee.
We hit the trail shortly after 8am and slowly made our way up the rocky trail with good views of Kili above. The trail climbs up a ridge and eventually out of the trees and allows for some truly spectacular views of the valley below. The team hiked for a little more than 4 hours before reaching out next camp that sits on Shira plateau, which is an ancient lava flow.
Everyone is doing very well and we are currently relaxing in our tents.
