Our mind is still at the top of Kilimanjaro
This night was by far the best one since the beginning of the trek, probably due to the efforts made the day before.
The descent to Mweka is pretty quick, we don't really take time to enjoy the landscape but our minds are somewhere else, between Stella point and Uhuru peak.
As we go down, the heat is more intense, the vegetation becomes lush... Kibo is now behind us for good!
After a quick lunch in Mweka village, we got back to the hotel for a pleasant shower and a diserved rest near the swimming pool. Then we decided to go and walk in Moshi streets where we enjoyed fresh pineapples, mangoes and sugar canes.
