End of day 5

We are at camp at the end of day four having climbed to about 14,300 feet. Everyone is still standing!

The walk was without doubt the most picturesque of our lives: no rain, walking through the clouds to see kilimanjaro emerge in sheer blue sky and vivid sunshine. The photo is not kilimanjaro but of Mowenzi peak by our camp. Tonight, temperatures will fall to minus ten or so!

Peter has had a strong day with no emergence of his altitude sickness. He is very relieved! We all have headaches - mine is quite bad today but still manageable. Everyone remains strong and in good spirit.

    Rain, sub-zero temperatures, altitude sickness, headaches - so why do I still feel jealous?! Looks amazing - if extremely hard work. Best of luck on the next leg. Cheers. Liam
