Climbing Mt. Meru in Tanzania
I just got some photos of our hike from the students (I did not want to carry our camera).

Signing in at the ranger's station before the hike...Last minute re-packing...Our porters (carrying 20kg each of our food and water)...Contemplating the last Red Bull for 3 days...Our route up the mountain: We started at the gate (middle bottom), took the path to the right, wound behind the Meru Sumit and then climbed Little Meru peak...OK it's this way...Across a grassy plain-WOW!!...Then up hill to hot drinks, food and our huts at the first camp...View of Mt Kilimanjaro as the sunset...Second day hiking through 'enchanted' forests...We can see the peak...Second night camp from the peak...The viewof where we've come from from the peak...Then the clouds rolled in...Then down, down, down for the whole day! Mel resting...We were so happy and had such a great sense of acheivement, both when we made it to the top and when we finally got back to the Ranger's Station!
