This morning we woke up early and got in the car by 7am. We had finished all of our packing the night before. Masa drove us to the Silver Springs hotel in Nairobi where we caught the Impala Hotel Shuttle. We stopped in Arusha at the Impala hotel for lunch before continuing on to Moshi.
The drive was long, bumpy, and dusty. By the time we reached the Moshi Mountain Inn at 3:30 we felt dead. We sat down at the bar and had some cold sodas.
Dad called during dinner to wish me luck. He told me not to worry, that if I didn’t make it to the top to not feel bad because I at least tried. At that point I thought, I wanted more than anything to stand at Uhuru peak on Wednesday. I was excited and nervous.
We spent a long and hot night trying to sleep – there were no fans and Moshi is incredibly hot.
