Climbing to the Summit of Kilimanjaro
While on the mountain I was not able to get cell coverage, apparently I should have brought tinfoil to fashion a better antenna. Then when we returned to the lodge there were continual power issues, thus making wifi access a bit of a challenge. Needless to say, I didn't post after the few safari updates. I'm still amazed that I had access to wifi in the middle of Tanzania, oh the modern advances we have come to find necessary.
So without further ado, I've created a bit of a video diary to chronicle our days on the mountain. There is so much photo and video footage that I could really make a documentary-length production. Bare that in mind when you watch this, because it really could have been a lot longer. I tried to give you a hint of the terrain and mileage covered each day. There is really no way to fully capture summit night, it's something you might just have to experience for yourself!
We've also managed to get quite a bit of news coverage over the last two weeks. I've included links to the coverage by Fox News below. Get yourself some popcorn and sit back and enjoy a climb up Africa's tallest mountain!
