On the 5th Feb I will be leaving for Tanzania to attempt to climb Kilimanjaro
Kilimanjaro is the highest free standing mountain in the world. At nearly 20,000 feet Kilimanjaro is one of the new seven wonders of the world and I can't wait! Please follow my progress here as I climb up the mountain and hopefully reach the top on Friday 12th February. Wish me luck !!!!

Arrived safely


After a pretty reasonable flight considering the distance, and a short 30 minute bus drive, we have finally arrived at the Impala Hotel, Moshi, Tanzania !! It is 11.30pm at night here, three hours ahead of home. The weather is very hot and humid - it is certainly over 30degrees, even at this late hour. The hotel is clean and comfortable and has an inviting looking swimming pool which I have no doubt will be used tomorrow!

Everything so far has gone very well. We went through customs very quickly and all our bags have arrived. Even though we are all tired, as tomorrow is a rest day we are now heading for a drink before retiring to bed. At the moment I am watching two lizards walk up the hotel wall and listening to the sound of hundreds of cicadas.

I will try and send an update tomorrow though as it is a rest day nothing much to report i guess. We shall see !!
