After soon we got to the camp, we had lunch. The pasta was very tasty. After lunch, I took a nap in my tent. After the nap, Tammy, |
|||
|
Franziska, and I took a walk to Shira cave and to a scenery spot. Shira Cave: It's forbidden now to stay overnight or cook in there but it used to be open to public to do so. |
|||
 I found one of Alpine plants there too. This is "Mountain Cirsium." |
|||
 We kept going up to the hill and made it to the view spot. Amazing!! |

-----------@@Dinner Stars@---------- After I got to the tent, we had strong rain for 2 or 3 hours but it just stopped at the dinner time. |
|||
| Today's dinner: Tanzanian croquette, Cucumber soup, fried meat and veggies, and soup on rice. Before I left Japan, |
|||
|
I saw some blogs written by some people who had climbed Mt.Killimanjaro,
and there had been pictures of cucumber soup everywhere so I wanted to taste it.  @ |
|||
After the dinner, the guides gave us medical check and asked us about how we felt. They mesured our SpO2: blood oxgen level like the picture below.  |
|||
|
Usually, the average level on the lawer altitude is above 90%, but mine was in the 80s, so I was surprised to see it at first. But Harold said, "When people are in high altitude, |
|||
|
the numbers get much lower. Having more than 80% on SpO2 at this high altitude is A+!! We had this medical check after every meal. |
|||
At about 9 o'clock, the sky was so clean unlike the rain storm we had this afternoon. So I tried to take some pictures but I couldn't |
|||
get any beautiful ones like the night before with the milky way or lots
of stars. Good Night... |
