Apollo Bay Update # 2

An update from the Apollo Bay team post Mount Meru trek

Hello friends and family.

Just an update on our trip. We are still having an amazing time and everyone is well. We have been to lake Manyara National Park on the last day of our safari. We saw lots and lots of monkeys, hippos and the usual (girffes, zedbras and warthogs). We were pretty tired after our 4 day safari but we had an awesome time!! =)

We then headed back to Arusha where we had a days rest. The following day we started our trek up Mount Meru. On the first day of trek we walked to Merikamba which was the first lodge. We walked 6 hours to get there in the rain. After the first night we continued walking to Saddle hut where a couple of students were really tired but got there in the end. At 12 that night majority of the students summited Meru after sunrise. The other students managed to climb little meru but at a later time. We were all very happy with our achievemtnts but had very sore legs.

After the trek we got to stay at a really fancy hotel in Arusha. We had a POOL and all food at the restaurant was included. We watched telly and had a really relaxing time. We are now in Moshi for 2 nights. We are now heading to the markets and buying souveniers for you all =D We are all looking forward to Zanzibar and we will update if we can soon.

Love the bay team xo =)
