Finally got back to 40km stagelength (has been Difficult to beat the lazyness after short stages in Nairobi;-)

And the reward: Shortly after we set up tents, just getting ready to eat our safari-dinner - rice, corn, tuna and banana & fresh mango - the clouds lifted in the Horizon and from one Moment to the Next, Kilimanjaaro stood beaming w. its glaciers right in front of us. I may not have seen anything as Amazing across any of the continents !!
