Mission Accomplished!



The Pink Hippo and the Naked Pirate succeeded in conquering the beast of a mountain, Kilimanjaro. We did in fact battle cold and altitude and many a rumbling tummy to trudge to the top... the views were breathtaking and stunning, which my pictures barely capture. I ache all over, am a bit sniffly, and though I clearly won my battle to the top, I'm not quite sure if it is me or the mountain that won the war! :) A special shout out to shadoweyes - I most definitely remember and will tell you all about it in extensive detail later. We will both try to post a few more pictures and stories soon, but now it is time for breakfast and then we head to Ngorongoro and Serengeti for safari adventures. I know the others are looking forward to the animals mostly, but at the moment I'm looking forward to not walking anywhere for a while.
