We climbed Karangura Peak, 3012m above sea level, in the Rewenzori Mountains

It was tough! We walked really fast (compared to when we climbed Meru in Tz!) so we were very tired and sweaty. It was fun. We walked through a rainforest and saw black and white colobus monkeys. And blue monkeys swinging in a tree. And trails from chimpanzees. We had a lovely chapati/avocado lunch at the summit and then headed down. Now an early night in Fort Portal to catch the Post Bus to Kampala in the morning. At 7.

The Karangora Peak. The summit was a little lame. It was shaped like an egg, so no view. But rather tiring to get to!

      Toppspecialister!Ni får börja göra ett pass där ni stämplar för varje topp ni går upp på.
      Hm, kossor, tuppar, apor och chimpanser. Jag undrar om det finns några hundar i Uganda? Här finns det mycket björn nu sägs det. Och björnungar. Längtar mycket efter er. Undrar om niluktar annorlunda. Slick!
