June 28 - Kili day 5 - of nervous energy and anxiety

Day 5 and we set up for a quick short 4 hour walk up to base camp. It was mostly uphill but it was a site to see. So many people buzzing with energy - some like us summiting tonight. Others coming down from the summit - tired, exhausted, but elated.
We had a late lunch , short afternoon siesta , early dinner and then donned out cold weather armor and went to bed. There were 45 students in the tent next door who were making a ruck with all their nervous energy making it impossible for us to rest. Not to mention we were a bit restless ourselves.

We were woken up at 10:30 to dress up and have some tea and biscuits before we headed off to the summit.
