Hi All!!
I am just going to give a brief update on where we are now. Richard is currently uploading photos and sorting them before he will put some up and write about Killi and our trip from Singapore. I have been keeping a travel diary so I have had enough of writing about Killi as it took me quite some time to write down all that happened!
I also want to say thanks to everyone that has commented thus far. We do read them and I personally love it. Sorry if we dont reply to each one personally. For those who haven't commented - what are you waiting for???
From Moshi to Arusha we caught a shuttle bus. There was another couple on board for the first part that we actually met at the beginning of our hike. The lady took a photo for us. They then got off only for us to arrive at the same hotel in Arusha! It is quite good catching the bus because you see so much. Life here is so different from home. We (well I) were a little sad to leave Springlands as it was such a freindly and great place to stay. It was a little less hotel and more personal. You recognised the staff and they you, you felt comfrtable just wondering around and well it was just so nice!
Currently we are in the internet cafe of our hotel in Arusha (The Impala Hotel). On first impressions it is a very fancy place. The reception area is quite stunning, with wood carvings and statues all around. The pool has a waterfall behind it and also statues around the garden area. When we arrived this had us quite impressed. Its only when you look closer that you see looks can be deceiving! Parts are a little run down and old. There is some pretty interesting electrical work going on in the pool garden for night lights. I am interested to see it on (and prehaps how it fairs if it is raining).
Richard and I both agreed Springlands was nicer. Though we do have better internet access here!
Tomorrow we head off on our safari, so you may not get a blog for another week or so. I am very excited about this part of the trip. We spoke to a girl at Springlands and she said there are plenty of baby animals around at the moment!! Yay!!
Miss everyone heaps. Hope all is well.
Love Sarah

Hi chicki babe and Richie Lad,
Well I knew Killi wouldn't kill you both, sort of? Still totally jealous now salivating over tropical looking photos. Give the baby animals a hug for me. Address 31 Maybury dve Mill Park 3082. My light for you both xxx
Ps just found my way out of the airport yesterday, bet you're proud
Hi Bidge & Sarah, I remember that feeling only too well: -20 deg and 80 kph wind on Thorong La - blimmin frizzering!! I presume adiabatic winds are the reason you did the last climb before sunrise, too. Or aren't those as significant on an isolated peak? Hopefully your gear kept pain levels in fingers and toes to a minimum. Great pics, can't wait to see the rest. Presence of snow noted. You didn't mention FOOD, so I guess it was OK. Looking forward to hearing all about it later on. xm
