Made it back safe and sound from Tanzania — an amazing country!
Went all the way to the top of Mt Kilimanjaro (Uhuru Peak, 5895m) on Jan 30, 2010 at 06:10am

Pictures are up at http://www.kilimanjaro2010.co.za – more narrative will follow at some stage
Yay!!!!
Right — now to pack and repack and unpack and repack — need to get the weight and the sorting right so that SAA and the porters carrying the stuff don’t complain.
Worrying bit is — 1.5kg of packaging that came off the equipment — just cardboard and plastic for packaging — excluding bags. Wow.
I wonder how one would quantify the carbon footprint of packaging materials being shipped around the world, and then destroyed, dumped or burned afterwareds?
Wow, that took long! The authority process does take its automatin’ time!
And the count-down to Kilimanjaro is on — only a few more days to go to before heading to the top – and Tanzania!
