Mount Kilimanjaro - Day 2

Slept poorly, but the blue sky morning brought a smile. After a hearty breakfast and birthday greetings to Jess we set off. The terrain was steeper than yesterday but our pace was slower and no one struggled. We reached camp at midday just before the rain started. After some poopcorn and a nap we set off for an aclimitisation walk to to 4050mtrs. Jess got a nice surprise after dinner from the crew. Cake, Champange and then they started singing some special Swahili songs for her, the whole campsite was awash with their voices. Afterwards Jess had to feed cake to everybody, as per tradition apparently. The evenings events were very memorable experience for all of us.
