views of Kilimanjaro, rising through morning haze just before we
landed. It's unimaginably high and had one long cloud hovering over
the summit. Slight problems because the Visa printer wasn't working
at Kilimanjaro airport and Rowan had to be smuggled passed an official
looking doctor in a white coat checking Yellow Fever certificates.
And now, having been welcomed by Cath, who was already here, we're all
lying round the pool of the Moivaro coffee plantation in an
increasingly hot day. Cicadas making the noise of several thousand
wash boards, butterflies, flowers everywhere, more tranquil than we'll
be for the rest of this trip. Ian smoking steadily. Sam asleep. Iris
making up scurilious tales to augment this blog and keep you all reading

So glad you arrived from frozen UK to flowers and tranquility with soft chirping and comforting swells of heat and aromas. Sounds wonderful. No problem keeping me reading...scurilious tales or not. Love to you and your band of adventurers. xxxxL
