The team of our German friends successfully made acclimatization climbing to the top of the picturesque Mount Meru (the second highest in Tanzania - 4565 m). However, only 8 out of 10 people reached until the top point. One of the participants twisted my ankle on the way down and even thought to abandon the ascent of Kilimanjaro. But he changed his mind and continued his plan in its original form.

The team also met Christmas at the hotel where waited for the other members, and had a rest after climbing Meru to gain strength for climbing Mount Kilimanjaro.

This Saturday 26 December our group gathered in the center of the world - Quito, Ecuador's capital, by the way at 2800.

Today, December 27, we had a very busy day: went up to a height of 4000 meters for acclimatization and admiring views of the city. Then we strolled through the historic center of Quito (which, incidentally, is one of the first cities was declared a monument of UNESCO), visited a great many different cathedrals and churches. Especially noteworthy are two: the highest mountain in the Catholic Church of 4000, located precisely on the line of the Equator.

Of course, we visited the museum of the equator, where he participated in several demonstrations to prove that we are exactly on the equator. However, one experience, we have recognized the false, and even found the secret.

Now we pack things and tomorrow are advancing toward our first top - Pasachoa, 4200.

Have a good mood!
