Day one. 0305 hrs pick up meant we arrived at Heathrow at 0345hrs with boarding at 0600hrs. Meet a very nice girl from Tanzania in the security queue. Good flight to Amsterdam and fairly swift change with a little more time to fraternise with the natives. By the way Joe has bought a hairdryer with him!!!! 8 hours then to Kilimanjaro(with Ozzies taking 36 from Sydney) . KLM left Kathleen's boots bag in Amsterdam. Rich got TO know Pennie rather than watching the movies, much to the amusement of the rest of the team. Journey from airport to the Mount Kilimanjaro View Lodge was awesome. With the African massage and death defying drops off the side of the road. Saw Kilimanjaro for first time. Anyone that says it's a walk in the park, has obviously never seen her from this close. A truly awe inspiring mountain. Lodge is fantastic and we are in the Elephant rooms with view across Moshi. On the lucky toys Sophie gave us, Kathleen guessed that Jo was a Tiger but thought Brownie was a Bear!!! We can't wait for sunrise at 0530. Just woke up to Brownie screaming like a girl as a lizard was in his bed . More later. X
