Day 8

We woke up at 6:30 in Millenium Camp at 3800 metres.

Tea, wash wash, packing and breakfast

Then we had clothes bingo. This involved us donating anything we wanted to give to our support team of 28. All the team (porters, cook, guides) then pull a number out and win the gifts. We made sure we had 28 so everyone was a winner.

After bingo Wayne did a speech for the tipping ceremony and Charles (our guide) translated it. They were all very appreciative of the amount of our tips.

This was followed by the Africa Walking Company (our support team) singing a celebration song. This was a very emotional moment which brought a tear to a few eyes.

Then we walked for 4 hours to Mweka Gate. We signed out and had a 3 hour trip back to the Moivaro Coffee Plantation.

Quick shower and then beers by the pool to celebrate.

By the way - its 42 degrees C here

Don't bother checking for anymore blogs as we will be too drunk to use a phone from now on

And after 8 days, 55 hours and 50 miles of walking we deserve it!!!
