Location Barufa Hut 15,000 feet.

The altitude has taken a hold of me, I have no appetite the guides try to force us to eat. Dad and I sit in the tent kicking back listening to the 85 different Swahili conversations taking place all around us, then we hear Peter the guide “ Hello…Hi, Suppertime” then I yell out. I am not hungry go away. He persists with “it is necessary.. you eat ok” then I tell him to get lost but he will not give up until we sit at the stupid table on top of this mountain and eat their food.. they take it way to personally if you refuse.

Tonight at midnight we wake up and take the final 4000 foot hike to the summit, then back down to this hut, pack up and head down to around 10,000 feet. We should be back at the hotel the day after tomorrow. I can’t wait to sleep in a real bed and wash the Kilimanjaro off my body.

We will blog if we make it probably around noon tomorrow.

Peace out
