Here's a classic photo of Kili. It goes some way to showing how it rises up over 15,000 feet from the African plains to the summit at 19,340,making it the tallest freestanding mountain in the world!
One overnight thought - I was listening to something on the radio the other day where a bloke from the Tanzanian tourist board was chatting on about his country. He used a phrase which I thought was interesting. He said, "truly, everybody comes home to Tanzania." He then went on to explain that, as the oldest human remains have been found in Tanzania, it's the place we ALL started out from. Therefore, in actual fact, it is our ancestral home, wherever we live on the planet these days!
Off to do some house tidying with, maybe, some time to do a little more Kili planning this afternoon...
