Andreas and Qasim... savouring a cuppa on Mount Killi...simple pleasures !!
Jimmy took this picture of me on top of a rock overhang.. you can see Kilimanjaro in the background .. it seems so majestic
Indy.. he developed flu which ultimately led to him being unable to reach the summit..I felt for him.. all the way he paced himself correctly.. but on the night of the asscent his flue got the better of him...
It always touched me to see our porters carrying such huge loads, it made our achievements seem whimpy..they never moaned, argued, delayed, they just got on with it.. it was a way of life in a $1 a day economy..basic clothing for them..high tec clothing and luxuries for us.. who were the real achievers..?
Day 3 on Kilimanjaro...resting above the clouds ...Met this group of Irish volunteers climbing Kili for charity..our paths would keep crossing.....and they were a great laugh..there was this deep respect and comraderie that we build up with people we met on the trail..
Here we all are having breakfast on Kilimanjaro..simple, nutritious, and great company
