The elephant in the room.
Chris called in Sunday morning from the Keys Hotel in Moshi to let us know everyone summitted and was safely down and off the mountain. They had way too much for lunch and dinner and were heading for bed. A few rounds of beers and the handing out of summit certificates rounded out the evening.
No more getting up early and having to hike. Now, it’s a function of getting up, having a nice breakfast, throwing a few things in the Land Cruisers and enjoying the best game viewing East Africa has to offer. They’ll probably tell a few ‘war stories’ about the climb while snapping photos of that lion.
