Kenya: Mount Kenya 12. - 15.03.2009

1st day (12.03.2009): Nairobi - Old Moses
9km / 2650m - 3300m / 3 hrs.

2nd day (13.03.2009): Old Moses - Shiptons Camp
14km / 3300m - 4200m / 7 hrs.

3rd day (14.03.2009): Shiptons Camp - Peak Lenana - Shiptons Camp - Old Moses
Shiptons - Peak Lenana - Shiptons: 5km / 4200m - 4985m - 4200m / 3 hrs. + 1.5 hrs.
Shiptons Camp - Old Moses: 14km / 4200m - 3300m / 4 hrs.

4th day (15.03.2009): Old Moses - Gate - Nairobi
9km / 3300m - 2650m / 2 hrs.


Finally back in the warm, and we made it.

I did enjoy the 3rd day, the 3hrs walk to the peak and the walk back to Old Moses. The countryside here is so nice. I have to admit, they have some really funny plants here.

But day number 1 and 2 weren't for me. Due to the fact that I didn't enjoy the entire trip and Karin's reasoning, I will most probably not climb Kilimandjaro. It is very expensive. So why should I do the same thing again, just longer and spend more money if I don't really enjoy it. I rather do something else like a horseback trek.

Now we definitely deserved some days at the beach. Tomorrow we are heading to Watamu, that is on Kenyas eastcoast.

Hi Miss Mount Kenya,

Looking forward to seeing you on horseback. (and hearing about a sore backside...)
Meanwhile, would you kindly reactivate the pics from Masai Mara and previous?
Love,

Hello.

Sorry, I "blocked" the albums, so that only people with the link could see them.

They are now "open" again.
