On to Kilimanjaro....and a few more edits.

Jambo,

I just arrived at my destination about 100km outside of Kilimanjaro. The place I'm staying is called the Armaru River Lodge and will be used as my temporary place to stay between Kili, the safari and Amani. I'm almost ashamed to be staying in such a nice place as I feel I should be roughing it a bit more (although I think there will be plenty of time for that in the coming days). Anyway, this lodge is in the middle of the jungle and is surrounded by coffee plants/trees (which you can smell). So needless to say, I'm looking forward to a good cup of coffee in the morning. :-) It's about 10:30PM, I just had a great meal (which I really needed because I haven't been eating enough on my trip) and a couple of beers and glasses of SA wine so I'm feeling pretty good. Tomorrow, I will post some more commentary on Zanzibar and the lodge. Upon reflection, there was so much to see in Zanzibar I realize that one day was not enough to explore the island. I already want to go back. However, I have a lot to look forward to with the next portion of my trek. I hope you've enjoyed the pictures so far.
