Dawn and what a wonderful sight when we emerged from our tents. Its about 6am and its still and peaceful. Of course not for long, the porters are soon up preparing breakfast and starting to break down camp - hive of activity.Once the sun is up we have an excellent view of Kili, it really doesnt look too high at all, well, thats from this distance. We walked for about 4 hours today and it really was not too hectic, some steep areas but nothing too strenous, we are of course walking at a snails pace which makes it easier.
There are loads of people hiking all the time, so if you imagine walking up Kili and it being quiet and serene you would be wrong, but it is quite nice to see other people as you go. We were quite breathless on some of the steeper bits, but you are going so slowly you soon recover. This evening our guides produced a gadget (I love gadgets) called an Oxymeter which measures the amount of oxygen in your blood as well as your heart rate we are all three at this point looking good!! I am totally loving this time with Dad and Chris!!!
