Last night spent at Machame Hut, and by end of today they will be reaching Shira Hut @ 3800m ...apparently a short but steep climb! Good luck Siobhan xx
Mum
Apparently a long and hard day today for them...ascent towards Lava Tower, a 4hr ascent taking us up to 4,200m. Lunch will be served just before Lava Tower. After lunch descent down to Baranco Campsite, a 4hr descent.

Hopefully today they reach the summit!
Fingers crossed - Missing you lots Siobhanny xxx

Sorry, I was wrong. Today they trekked through Karanga Valley to reach Barafu camp, at 4633 metres. They were walking all day until 6pm. Then up at 11pm tonight to climb to summit aiming to arrive at 6 am tomorrow. WOW!! Xxx

Update until SIobhan can get internet access....
She has now left Africa and is en route to Laos to start her 2 week volunteering teaching children.
She was lucky enough to do a short safari before she left and saw lots of animals so hopefully she will have lots of pictures to post of that and of course Kilimanjaro :)
Mum
Siobhan has now safely arrived in Laos, ready to start her volunteering teaching children. She has found an internet cafe...with a very dodgy service using a very sticky keyboard (yuk)!!
She is trying desperately to update this blog and to upload some pictures for us to see, but without much success :(
She is meeting the other volunteers that have already arrived for dinner tonight and has already met the co-ordinator who also has the surname Feeney!!
Keep checking this for an update, sure she will be successful soon! She was pleased to see all the messages so far :)
