Theres a pic of me heading back to Gilmans Point with some more of the glaciers in the background - still freezing cold!! everything was frozen, my poles, my glasses, my possum fur scalf, my body!! Then of course theres me at Gilmans Point, some of the crater is in the background, but pretty cool to have your name on a mountain somewhere!!















Theres me in one of the wooden huts, after getting back to hibo huts camp i had lunch and a quick rest before walking another 3 hours back to Horombo where Gav was. We had an early dinner and went straight to bed for a well deserved rest! by that time I hadn't slept for 36 hours and I'd been walking for about 22 hours of those including up the peak of the mountain!!!



Heres us with Nick and Elisa from our tour, we met up with them on day 3 after leaving Bob, Soren and Claudia, because these guys also did an extra day but started one day before us so it was cool to see them again. At this point we are back at Marangu Gates, back at the bottom, I know I'm clashing but it was my only clean t-shirt!! my god i was in so much pain, everything hurt, my feet, my knee, every muscle, such relief to get back to the bottom!!

Then one last pic of us with John (the other guy walking with nick and elisa) and some of the guides, we all went out for dinner for our last night in africa and to celebrate making it as far as we did! Excellent food!!

So, were back home, its a bit surreal, it already doesn't feel like we've been away, the reality of getting jobs has hit us hard! We have had an absolutely fantastic life changing experience, we have no regrets and plenty of plans for future trips. As Gav put it, we didn't meet a single person we didn't like or visit any place we didn't like, the whole experience was just fantastic
