Tanzania 12 — Mount Kilimanjaro Triumph

Dienstag, 23. August 2011 22:11

Time to look back to Berny an my climbing of Mt. Kilimanjaro, too. As I hoped and expected, the pain is mostly forgotten, the excitement and memories of the amazing views is still vividly there.

  • #travelinsight 72: I hate taxi drivers who scare you of their own city and countrymen for business. And love the „dangerous local quarters“. #
  • #travelinsight 71: When traveling, you sometimes need a lot of luck! Miraculously always had it so far, quite a lot in one day recently. #
  • #travelinsight 70: My #1 important technical advance ever: washing machine. No, don’t tell me you need the wheel for that! :) #
  • #travelinsight 69: One time a teacher, always a teacher? Seems so. Explaining physics to the children in my Kisumu guest family :D #
  • Uups. The mountain messed up my calendar — the peak was August 1 of course, otherwise how would I have internet now? #
  • The power of compromise applied to science http://j.mp/mR6XQ1 you don’t think evolution and creation work together? They do :) #
  • August 2, 2011, 6:15am http://twitpic.com/5zw5aw Uhuru Peak. Didn’t think it was going to be that hard… More pictures on my blog soon. #

In a way, this was the beginning of traveling again: still based in Kagondo, exploring the immediate surroundings. I was invited by a very lovely young priest to visit him in his parish — the big island „Bumbire“ and some 80 small surrounding islands in Lake Victoria.

After some two weeks of traveling again, it is time to finally put here the last last pictures from Kagondo. At least until the next visit, which might be in September, and hopefully soon again after this year!
