More summit pictures

Note Shawn taking a pee inside the crater. Apparently he has a thing for peeing in volcanos :)

A few pics from Zanzibar

Stonetown

This is Bwejuu beach, which is on the east side of Zanzibar. Palm trees, sand, and Indian Ocean

A dhow at sunset. This pic was take in Stonetown.

All these pics are of course from Tibi :)

Elephant? What elephant?

We had stopped for lunch near a pond in the Ngorongoro Crater. This elephant just came cruising into camp.

Just seconds before this photo, the elephant was actually bearing right down on us... I was just about to go running (and screaming) into the truck and hide under the back seat.

An acacia tree. For reasons I can't explain, I really like these trees. I believe this is actually an "umbrella acacia tree"
Our incredible porters, and the path ahead. Those guys will carry all that gear down the valley, and up the next ridge. We will follow, but we will carry a tenth of the load and take at least twice as long. If I recall correctly, this is on Day 4, from Barranco camp to Karanga camp
Kili from Barranco Camp (12,700 feet, or 3860m). This is the evening of Day 3, or the morning of Day 4. As you can see, at this point in the trek, there is still a little work left to do. As our friend and fellow trekker, Richard, would say, "we have a few steps left to take".

Some more kili pics

Kili at night.
I think Tibi took this from Karanga camp (Day 4)
I'm not sure where the second pic came from (I will find out), but the clouds look cool to me.
