This is really how it went down. They sing this coming off the mountian for luck or something like that.

Kilimanjaro spirit song

Russell and his posse of porters bust out this traditional Tanzania rap on the last day of the climb to give us all safe passage off the mountain.

Russell rappn'

Matemwe is a small fishing village on the coast of Zanzibar. We rolled up right when they were auctioning off the freshly caught fish of the day. No ebay over here, it was old fashioned style yelling. Dave tried to esnipe a kingfish at the last second but got out-bid. We tried to hook up the snorkeling trip with some of the locals, after they said it would only cost $4 we grew suspicious and asked to see the snorkel equipment first. Looks like the fins were made out of old Dunlops. The fins were size 14, but that wasn't a problem since they stuffed a smelly old sock down the end to pad it out.

Our Land Cruiser never got stuck like these other suckers, could it have been because of the excellent driving skillz?

Stuck in the mud

Watch out! There is a big black african schlong in this clip. I wasn't planning on posting this, but since there has been an overwhelmingly large number of requests for it, here it is. enjoy.

Zebra

We follow the safari of two englishmen in the Ngorongoro Crater Wildlife reserve. The crater has the largest population denisty of crazy animals in the whole of Africa.

Who said 'they aint got a chance cos all they do is dance'? not Dave, since all he can say is 'we made it, yeaaahhh'

Summit

This covers the day before the summit attempt. Dave does some strange things with his mouth, looks like hes on crack, but claims its an altitude related side effect. As is that gigantic vein on my forehead which luckily went away back at sea level, and only comes back when I get mad.

Midnight

Food, Acute Mountain Sickness, and the mountain itself.

Camping

In this episode we have some minor concerns about the quality of some of the equipment provided, and some major concerns about the porter that is sleeping in Daves tent.

Duct tape

Encounered a different species of monkeys today.

The Brits

Starting out on the climb with our team of brothers. We were on the look out for lions in the bushes, Dave was carrying the beef jerky so I felt pretty confidant the lion would go after him 1st.

Day 1

Wandering around Amsterdam airport. The Diamox we started taking for altitude sickness just kicked in, makes soda taste flat, Dave is trippin on that. We need to figure out a way to afford fleece jackets as it suddenly occurred to us that we might get cold on the mountain, of course Dave has a great plan. Needless to say, no jackets were purchased.
