June 25 - Kili Day 2 - of steep uphills and pole pole

Woke up early morning to a nice hot water wash and a hot breakfast made up of porridge, followed by eggs and toast , followed by a piece of fruit. And a introduction to milo - which was going to be a morning routine for the next few days.

And my - it was a scenic but uphill hike pretty much all day. Our pace was being regulated by Filbert and our assistant guide mussoni - pole pole as they say. One slow step at a time - which was to be our mantra for the next few days.

Every time I turned around I was amazed at the distance , altitude and the scenic vistas behind us. And glimpses of the trail ahead of us with mt kili playing hide and seek with us under the cover of the clouds.

We were exhausted by the time we reached camp which was around 2sh. Had a late lunch and didn't have much of an appetite for dinner. But were relieved to hear at dinner that the next day wasn't to be so bad.
