The trail continues up towards Kibo, passing Second Cave (3450m) en-route, and reaching Kikelwa Cave at about 3600 metres.
The views start to open up and you begin to feel you're on a really big mountain! Water is in the obvious stream below the cave, although you might have to wander downhill a way to find some.
We arrived at Kikelewa Cave Camp after walking during 8 hours to an altitude of 3600m.
We are at 0 degrees already but we are so excited that can hardly feel any cold.
So far there is only one person with some altitude sickness sympthons but nothing extreme.
We are following the guides' advise to go POLE POLE (slowly slowly) so we all are doing great.
The group is FANTASTIC and we do all get on amazingly well.
We are 15 fundraisers trekkers for Orchid plus Joe the doctor, Connie from the travel agency and Natalie from Orchid.
When we arrived today, the porters and the guides welcomed us dancing and singing...it was amazing!!!.
While we were walking today, Peter and Richard, 2 of the guides were singing and I told them they should do it all the time cause they had beautiful voices;
Peter said they would sing more once at the camp....well, they kept their promise!
I am so happy to be here!!!
