On Queensday we left for Marangu. We wanted to take the shortcut to Msata. Unfortunately we heard there that the road was closed because of flooding! A D-tour of 200 km. Back to Dar, through the chaos of that big city with all the trafic jams. Then 100 km to Morogoro. We were lucky, not too much traffic but it mend we could not reach Marangu that night. The road was in a good condition. The views were excellent. We passed lots and lots of sisal plantations and the boys were reading.
In Marangu the scenery was beautiful. Totally unexpected rain forest and very green. OK, it was raining a lot. That is why the Kili could not be seen. But the moment you see the Mount Kilimanjaro it changes everything. What an impressive site. We had the idea to walk or hike to the first hut. But the fees of the National park were huge. 60 USD for 1 person, only for a walk of 4 hours? No, we arranged a guide and did our own tour.

Hallo Helma en Boys,
Wat een mooie foto. De Kilimanjaro met sneeuw. Meestal ligt hij in de wolken. Jullie treffen het wel. Niet die 4 uur gaan lopen?????
