March 12, 2008 Down Safe and Sound to a Warm Welcome & Celebration

Our musical welcome at the gates

Joel came out to meet and congratulate us.
He met Mark at the bottom of the trail to say "good job"

There was music, warm congratulations and celebration at the bottom

It is 14,000 feet from our cold Crater Camp on the top of Kilimanjaro
to the park gate at Mweka way down in the forest. We made the trip down in 1 1/2 days
and found a great buffet lunch provided by Berg Adventure Arusha office
waiting for us at the bottom

After hard work and a tough descent all the way off the mountain the entire team,
Climb for Kids Climbers, BAI guides and staff and BAI porters
relaxed together at the bottom of the mountain.

Babu and Bibi reached the bottom of the mountain looking great

Steve is happy and healthy after his Kili conquest

Indulging at the Mountain Village Lodge, our adventure continues on safari tomorrow
