Jambo all!
We have been having a brilliant time here in Udzungwa. Our base camp is actually really nice. Hot showers (well, most of the time), Cokes and a restaurant where we plan to eat tonight. I've ordered a chicken curry. This morning we just came back from a 3 day acclimatisation trek. I was quite surprised by how much going to the gym improved my fitness (thanks mum!) so most of the time I was right at the front! I was amazed to see so many beautiful butterflies around. And we have also seen a lot of monkeys: Black and white colobus, red Iringa colobus and baboons (which frequently patroll the edges of our camp)
We passed by a small roadside village when we finally came down the mountain and ordered a cold pepsi which really hit the spot. There were some very curious little children investigating us, so I asked permission to take photos of them. They looked thrilled to see themselves on the back of my camera.
Tomorrow, we catch two busses to our project area. we are all looking forward to it.
Missing you all.

ReplyDeleteAm keeping an eye on your progress. Sounds fab. I remember the acclimatisation stage well. I used to really appreciate the odd coca cola every now and again. TAKE CARE ALL OF YOU xxxxxx
