At 10 pm we had to get up. We drank some tea, ate some biscuits and got into 5 layers of different clothes, scarves, caps, gloves against the freezing temperature at 4600 m and expecting some more rather cold weather at 6000 m.
The 2nd evening we enjoyed the view from this camp to the famous Barranco Wall. This wall is famous of being the major obstacle to climb Kili.
We had a cook when climbing Kili. He had to do his job supplying us with all sorts of delicacies. To do so, the porters carried all kind of foodstuff up to the mountain.
The climbing company had their own hotel they booked us into – something like a railway station; coming and going of all sort of people for 24h a day.

Coming out of the Tankwa Karo National Park we had some minor problems. One of our brand new (!!!!) tires burst.
We had a slight problem with the clutch. The real problem was not 2 replace it. U just go 2 Toyota, to order the spare parts, organise them for fitting it- that’s all.
