Chapter 112 Demeanor
At 8 o'clock in the morning, I spent $30 to buy a ticket to Tanzania's Thomas Town at Nairobi Bus Station. I took the local bus and set off! The whole journey was about 8 hours, and I would go through the entry procedures in the Tanzanian border town of Namanga.
The station in Nairobi was already very lively in the morning. Yun Luo changed into T-shirts and shorts for easy travel, wore sports shoes, combed his ponytail, and strode towards a group of tall and large African men.∈↗ was surrounded in an instant, and a group of big bad wolves saw a little sheep. It was just like that. The screams of "baby" and "Chinese girls" drowned Yun Luo. Yun Luo only remembered that Yun Luo said "touching" in a daze, and the box in his hand was dragged away! Before Yun Luo could explain, someone pushed Yun Luo's back enthusiastically and sent Yun Luo to a car! Then Yun Luo's luggage was tied to the roof! Everything happened in less than 3 minutes. Anyway, Yun Luo had already adapted to the enthusiasm of the Kenyan people!
Sitting in the car, he let out a deep breath and watched the wolves under the car slowly dissipate. As soon as the departure point turned, the driver added some fuel first. The gas station in Kenya is really beautiful!
In the car, everyone chose their seats in order. Yun Luo came late and sat in the back. He thought he would be with the black brothers in the car, but to Yun Luo's surprise, there were basically passengers from the United States in front.
The kind old man talked to Yunluo intermittently about the old open-air train station under the blue sky and white clouds. The border of Kenya is poor and visible at a glance. The only car rest station in the whole process. Every car rest station stimulates Yunluo's nerves in shopping.
In the small town of Namanga, Tanzanian border, the little Hei Ge who sells cashews. The cashews are cheap, Yunluo is almost crying! Can you guess how much it costs? It's so cheap! It's so delicious! It's so expensive!
Later, Yunluo found out that taking photos was not allowed here. At 4:30 pm, he arrived at Yunluo's destination! A very famous hotel in the local area. This hotel has good accommodation conditions and is also well-known, and the price of climbing is also well-known. Yunluo has always believed that when people are traveling, happiness is the most important thing. Money can always be made again, so be better to yourself.
As soon as you enter the gate, the hotel's front yard is the hotel's back yard, and the house on the left is the boss's office. There is a short story here! Although Tanzania is close to Kenya, the handling fee for swiping cards is ridiculously high! The mountaineering fee is nearly US$2,000, so Yunluo certainly cannot have enough cash. In order to save nearly US$100 in handling fees, Yunluo could only go to the bank to withdraw cash.
The clean and bright indoor dining room comes out from the small door on the right, and is a beautiful bar, outdoor dining room, and an open-air swimming pool. The room is not big, but it is very clean. The table is full of bottles and jars of little women. Take a good bath! Have a dinner! Prepare for the next day's mountain climb!
In fact, when I went out to touch the door alone, I was really nervous and excited in the capital. Yunluo was used to being taken care of by others and only bullying Africa, where the dogs at home were best, just because of the oath at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro.
Yes, Africa is a place where there is no money and cannot move forward. The enthusiastic African people will always wait there after giving you help, waiting to get the fruits of their own labor. When they get those dollars, they will flash their sincere eyes and say to you sincerely: "Thank you!" At that time, Yunluo believed that every Chinese who knows Uncle Lei Feng would question this very different African culture, but Yunluo was not disgusted with it, and even liked this kind of naked real expression is better than smiling and hypocrisy in his heart.
On the road, Yunluo admitted that Yunluo is weak, but every day, Yunluo is trying to adapt to himself more and stronger. Yunluo tried to turn himself into a little beast on the prairie and really integrate into the most realistic life here.
When I first arrived in the town of Moshi, the most troublesome thing was that the whole Moxi kept out of power every day! The power outage! The power outage!
Although the hotel will provide emergency lights, I am really not used to it when I first arrived! I went downstairs to have dinner in a good mood. I just looked at the menu and the power went out! I lit a candle! I just thought it was romantic. I just ate fruit and called again! But the speed of the African people is always slow! So, when I was having a meal, the power went out again! Yun Luo was in the romantic and dim light of the candle, and I really regret it. Why did Yun Luo order a fish?
There will be power outages when eating! There will be power outages when taking a shower at night! The dark and wet and slippery bathroom is so dark! It is easy to remind Yunluo of all kinds of horrifying stories! The house number is 107, and the second floor here is actually the first floor and the first floor is actually the restaurant. After breakfast, Yunluo will set off!
Pineapple that was loved by Yunluo to death! Mango! And hot milk with light yellow milk skin! The mangoes here are so delicious! The big green mango is so sweet and ripe. This is the sun-dried and naturally ripe! In Beijing, you can only eat it in your dreams. The milk is hot and delicious, and the iced ones are delicious! Add iced milk, and there will be a layer of butter granules on it! Damn it! This is called milk!
Tanzania has greater sunburn intensity than Kenya. The temperature is high and the fruits are not much the same. The mangoes here are bigger and more delicious. However, I did not see the passionate fruits of Kenya.
Wuyan Yunluo at that time only knew how hard it was to climb the mountain, but Yunluo never expected that after climbing the mountain, Yunluo would no longer look like anyone else! Hurry up and look at Yunluo again! Yunluo is here! Kilimanjaro in dreams countless times!
The sun was already full of heat at around 8 o'clock in the morning in Tanzania. The driver of the hotel drove Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo to the mountain gate. The configuration of this trip to Yunluo is 1 guide, 1 waiter, 1 cooker, 4 porters, and 7 men will eat and live with Yunluo on the highest peak in Africa for 5 nights and 6 days.
I think many people will be very upset about Yunluo's actions. At least before coming to Africa, Yunluo's friends felt that Yunluo was completely crazy! Bougainvillea blooming everywhere! Yunluo feels that he is really beautiful at this moment! Yunluo is a brave and brilliant Chinese! Yunluo loves wild and beautiful black Africa! Banana trees are all on both sides of the road! It turns out that banana trees look like this!
This is the famous whiskey route. The machame meat te route is one of the two routes that climbers often choose. It is said that the scenery along the way is the most beautiful of several routes. The number of days of climbing is generally 6-7 days. The clouds choose 6 days.
Kilimanjaro is the highest peak in Africa, with an altitude of 5,896 meters. The machame route climbing process is actually on the mountain, going around the mountain, with the purpose of giving climbers a process of adapting to the altitude reversal. Starting from the mountain gate, rise to an altitude of 3,000 meters, then rise to 3,800 meters, then climb to 4,600 meters and then descend to 3,900 meters, then climb to 4,900 meters, and finally reach 5,896 meters. There is actually no technical difficulty in climbing Kilimanjaro. It just needs to fight against the altitude reversal. But for Yunluo, what is terrible is not the altitude reversal, but the cold!
The climbers who come here mainly come from European countries and the United States, mostly Americans. Therefore, the cost of climbing is expensive and has increased year by year. Looking around, I couldn't find Asians with the same complexion as Yun Luo. The first meeting: Kilimanjaro's porter.
When Yun Luo first saw these porters, he just felt that they were very strong and two big bags each! One on his back and one on his head!
Yunluo actually wanted to choose the 8-day le-touch line, but he was short of money and could only choose the cheap macham. The tropical rainforest in Kilimanjaro, as soon as he entered the rainforest, there was no longer the heat outside the mountain gate, and the air was humid. Everything here was shrouded by dense tropical plants, and crisp birds cries came from time to time around. Next to the narrow mountain road was dense forest.
This is Yunluo's tour guide frank. It's strange. When Yunluo saw him in the hotel at the foot of the mountain, he was born with disgust and looked at his face. Yunluo couldn't find a man's generousness at all! Yunluo actually hated him so much! Yunluo never disgusted with a strange African man like this, but Yunluo wanted to spend a whole few days with him.
On the first day when he entered the mountain, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo chatted without a word. Yunluo told him enthusiastically that Yunluo loved Africa and looked forward to seeing the beginning of the day at the top of Africa. He also thought about going down the mountain and heading to Mombasa to see the charm of the Indian Ocean.
There are many kinds of green plants here, but there are very few flowers. This is one of the small amount of flowers. It looks a bit like osmanthus, very small, but has no fragrance. This pink little flower is the most common flower below 2,000 meters above sea level. The mountains are full of lush vegetation. Here are plenty of sunshine, abundant rainfall, and high humidity. The temperature is around 30 degrees a year. It is very suitable for the reproduction of various broad-leaved plants. Look, the road to the mountain was really flat at the beginning!
In order to reduce the load, before going up the mountain, Yunluo only brought the most necessary warmth stuff and only wore a T-shirt close to her body, but she didn't expect that she would sweat a lot! It seems that Yunluo must be so smelly when she went down the mountain. This T-shirt would be worn by Yunluo as underwear for 6 days in a row! oh!mygod!
Let’s introduce Yunluo’s team. The entire team counts Yunluo’s total 8 people. Frank is the guide and will walk with Yunluo from beginning to end every day.
This is Yunluo's waiter. He takes care of Yunluo's diet and daily life, fetches water and serves food for Yunluo, packs up the restaurant tent and sleeping tent, and rarely talks. No matter what Yunluo talks to him, he always smiles and nods and says "yes".
