Day One on the Mountain Continued...
We arrived at the first camp, to find that it is considerably better than we had expected.
Today's walk was steep and brisk. The tropical rain forest is almost prehistoric with ferns and lichen hanging from every branch. The local superstition here suggests that he who sees Kili before you climb it will not get to summit, on the basis that you have seen it already, so you don't have to bother getting to the top!
The mountain was draped in clouds when we approached, so the gods are with us!
