Safely back at the lodge, en route to the Ngorongoro Crater

We arrived safely back at Kilemakyaro Lodge last night and then had a great celebration at the El Rancho Restaurant in Moshi. The whole team received certificates for summitting Kili. Our final day on the mountain was our wettest yet, so the hot showers at the Lodge were very welcome. We are now en route to see the "Big Seven;" lions, elephants, rhinos, hippos, giraffes, leopards, and cheetahs! We will go down onto the floor of the Ngorongoro Crater to see all these animals, just like in the opening scene from the Lion King (literally, as the Lion King scene is based on the Ngorongoro Crater.)
Today is our first day off from hiking in a week - a well deserved rest for the coolest group on the mountain!
