Our first few days in Tanzania have been a bit strange... we have found the hassling to sell us jewellery, safaris, and batiks (of which we have now bought 5!) to be a bit tiring but we are getting the hang of saying 'hapana asanti' (no thanks in Swahili). We are staying in Moshi, a smallish town which is the gateway to Mt Kilimanjaro - and that is where we are headed tomorrow. We have withdrawn 1 million Tanzanian shillings (a huge wad of cash as the largest note is 10,000 shillings) to pay for the trek and we still have to pay the park fees (US$750 each for the week)I realy really hope the money is going to the country and not into the politician's pockets!
Please wish us luck for making it to the summit as acclimitisation will be difficult in such a short time.
