About an hour’s drive (very bumpy and dusty) from the
Kilimanjaro Airport is Springland’s
hotel in Moshi were we party before and after Killi hikeJ.
Ok here is how things work in this hotel. For everything you
buy or use you just sign in a receipt with your name and room number. It’s easy
and really awesome when you had few drinks but can be annoying sometimes.
So Christine and I got checked in sharing a room with 3 beds
and Pvt bathroom. I was glad to see mosquito nets hanging on top of each bedJ.
It’s been ages since I slept inside one of those.
The hotel has Gym, swimming pool, Massage service, bar with
a garden and lots more. I went for a swim in the evening not realizing how cold
the water would be(think it would’ve been better if I visited the bar and had
few drinks before I jumped in the pool). I was expecting a heated pool ..yeah
right I guess I have to get into the cold shower habit for next 3 months J.
Had a quiet day just relaxing and I was also coming down
with cold and was getting nervous that it might hinder my Killi hike. Mel and Kelly (2 friends from
USA) would be joining us tomorrow and
would be very interesting to see how we get along cause for next 2 weeks 4 of
us will be stuck in a mountain and I have heard a tough hike can really make or
break good friends.
The food is buffet style and I’m not sure if it’s the
tradition here but there is soup always before dinner J. Soup oh gosh little
did I know in 2 weeks I will be sick of
any kind of soup. Too much of anything is no good and I totally
understand the saying now.
