Day 7

Notes

• alarm at 7:30am for breakfast, Emmanuel picked us up at the hotel (Springland Hotel)
  
• Danusia and ACD: packed and broke fast, left camp around 08:30, arrived at the gate around noon
  
• group photo after breakfast, awkward tipping 'cause Emmanuel already had the $
  
• took the truck with Emmanuel back to KCMC, where Eric and Michaela had been since ~10am
  
• Eric and Michaela met up with Becky there and started the bureaucratic process, took forever to go through all the forms
  
• Kitolie: certificates for completing the climb, we all unpacked, showered
  
• coffee shop for lunch: tomato/lentil soup, grilled cheeses, baguettes, choccocinos, chocolate cake, coke lights
  
• street scene in Moshi: shopping for flip flops, ACD' 5k TZS hat, shoes for Eric, souvenirs, street wedding with honking horns and flashing car lights
  
• dinner at deli-chez, Michaela randomly found us there
  
• apparently 60% of the folks who try, summit
  
• Eric got ~10 hours of sleep in 2.5 days, in addition to summitting
  
• Danusia is turning 50 soon, still has her mojo!
  
• Maurice taxi ride to KCMC, to the expat bbq
  
• chocolate ice cream! with passion fruit and banana, and mango
  
• lots of fun chatting with the folks there
