Last night, we had a rendez-vous with our coach-guide-partner, Mathieu Fleury from ExPé, in a sporting goods shop in order to look at the equipment we'll need for the Kilimanjao expedition. At the same time, Mathieu gave us each a file with all the information about the trip - from obtaining a visa for Tanzania, to medication and vaccinations, to details about each day of the trip. Enough to fill our dreams for the next 10 months!
We were able to visit the entire shop and see all the equipment necessary for such an endeavor. Cotton is to be avoided at all costs and the many-layered fashion is essential. That means a thin layer, an intermediate layer and a Goretex style coat, as well as a down-lined coat for the evening. We really appreciated Mathieu showing us all the alternatives in a complete range of prices.
Another step completed in our preparation As our guide says, it's time to turn our words into actions.
We all left with our calculators in hand. Those of the Kili team who are shopping specialists are already working hard to find the best deals.
One thing is certain, Father Christmas is going to receive 19 lists very, very soon.
