Today was a day you would like to scrub out and start again but also store and keep in my memory...It didn't start well with 5 members of the tour group (including Chris and I) being separated from the rest while going from the ferry to the truck. One guy was
pick-pocketed... and it took one of the locals to let us know where the truck was, we got there in the end.
It was a day to commit to memory as the scenery which we saw was again breathtaking.
Anne thought I was crazy as I was constantly waving out of the window to the people we passed, but what she didn't see were the children running along the paths waving and shouting as we went along.I was listening to some great tunes while we were going along the road and one of them was the Take That song 'Never Forget' and it's words were extremely fitting. It was the first day I didn't feel like sleeping on the truck despite the journey being over 10 hours. the time flew in and excitement increased when we saw the sign for the Kilimanjaro mountain range. The thought and excitement of seeing the snow capped mountain was constant, but we needed to wait until the next morning to see that and it was a brilliant sight.

The next day we stopped off at a place to buy some Tanzanite - when in Tanzania eh? and then headed onto our next campsite aptly named Snake Park. We just had to visit the snakes attached to the park and watched some scared chicks evade the snakes attack. Yuck!Chris and Levi went for a camel ride which cost $1 so they couldn't pass up the opportunity, it was literally up and down a field but an experience.
The next three nights where into the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater and then we're on the home straight for our first time round the world.
