I’ll try not to bore you with posts everyday but at the moment, apart from reading (any good suggestions gratefully received), chatting to Rob or chatting to all of the successful summiteers returning in euphoria there is very little to do. We are however, very much enjoying the relaxation, sunshine and varying views of Kilimanjaro as it fades and appears from among the clouds.
The gardens and pool are beautiful and there is an amazing volleyball court which, if I were in a fitter state I would definitely take advantage of (Joe and Ellie know how much I love volleyball on holiday and are particularly delighted when I intervene and organise the game when it’s not being played properly).
After returning from the hospital yesterday we spent at least fifteen hours sleeping (so glad to be out of sleeping bags and tents) and the rest of the time in or lying by the pool. Things could definitely be worse!
Although we are extremely disappointed at not reaching the summit we did receive an email earlier from our two lovely companions on our trek (Josh and Sudar) to say they had reached base camp and will attempt the summit from midnight. Good luck boys, wish we were with you. Xx
