Itinerary description
We woke up at 6, had some hot tea, then breakfast, and left the campsite at 8h15.
We had our medical check out first to follow up, especially the heart and oxygen rate.
From the beginning, we started uphill with a slow pace. Till noon, it was a clear blue sky with amazing views over the rain forest, Kilimanjaro peak, and Arusha peak.
I thought it would gonna be more difficult, but it didn't take us a lot of time nor effort to reach the Shira Campsite.
We have to rest, eat, and drink well because what is coming next is harder and more challenging.
