Mt Kilimanjaro [18/12/07]

After that horrible horrible seems to be neverending trek the day before, all of us ended up perishing in our tents, resting our aching leg muscles.



We woke up in the early morning to prepare ourselves for a short hike to Karanga Campsite which is 4,200 metres above sea level. After breakfast, we embarked on our trek towards the 'Breakfast Wall".



The menacing "Breakfast Wall"

You have to give it to these porters. The "wall" was basically pretty steep and we had to use all our limbs to climb some particular parts of the "wall". But take a look at these guys, most of them climbed up the "wall" balancing a big basket of stuff on their heads. I was totally amazed.

For a moment i can understand what it means to be in the wilderness.
Alas... CIVILISATION!

Its LUNCHTIME!

Gonna spend the afternoon resting for the hike to Marafu camp tomorrow.

Dinner time!!


The freezing night!

We were practically wrapped up like bazhang. But someone was worse than me haha.
I know this is pretty out of point but the toilet was literally flooded. Also i sprained my left ankle while going to toilet in the night. I resolved to use a mineral water bottle to settle my small business for the rest of the night.
