Just to bring you up to date with our trip, we leave on the 4th feb 2010, we fly from JLA via Amsterdam and arriving at Kilimanjaro airport in the evening, we have 2 days RR at the Moivara Lodge and then the Africa Travel company (same one as used by the comic relief climbers) pick us up and take to us to Kilimanjaro Lodge. We actually start our climb on Sunday 7th and from then on in our lives will consist for the next 6 days and 5 nights of walking and sleeping in a bivouac. We will be slowly making our way to the top (i.e. becoming acclimatised
the phrase is)
If fatigue or altitude sickness doesn't get us we will be starting our last climb on 11th Feb at about 01.00hrs and hopefully reach the summit for sunrise. Apparently you can text from there how amazing is that. We will then make our way down and will reach the Kili lodge for the evening and shower/bath and a real bed. If all goes according to plan we will be taken back to Moivara lodge for R&R (2 days). We start our journey home on Monday 15th and arrive at JLA on Tuesday am. Apparently we are not for from a well known safari park so that could be a further trip on on of our R&R days. Thats it for now.
