Kilimanjaro Experience ( Adventure travel)

Hi, had been days I had not posted any stories, While the whole world is focussing on Michael Jackson's death ( which I am one of his greatest fan, shocked & tears fell hearing that he passed away while at prime age, when world is still wanting to see his innovative twist in his 50 concert in Britain, I guess the theme This is It, indicating that that is his final words for his concert, May Allah bless his soul) . So much for MJ, as i had promised in my earlier blog I will share with U of the torture that we had endures for a year of going through the regular training to increase our stamina, body's strength , overall fitness, physical and mental . 3 of us listed down the training schedule, includes climbing the hills , walk around the botanical garden , increase the training frequency until we feel fit enough to go. One of the training that we had unable to practise is walking uphill at the high altitude. We had no idea of what it is like climbing a mountain ( ~25000 feet) the only thing that we know of is making sure that we are fit enough to climb the mountain. We do not know how is it like to experience the mountain sickness. Being Malaysian , located in Equatorial where hot & rain is the only game in town, & there is no mountain in Malaysia as high as Mt Kilimanjaro , but we still determine to go regardless. Our target was to reach the summit on 31st Aug ( the date is important to us cause it is Malaysian Independence day. With all the training & the preparation we had finally made it to embark the plane to leave for Kenya.
Will continue with the trip.

For those who had been at summit , pls. share on Ur preparation for the trip.
