The eagles have landed...

Here we are in a very cold Nottingham with Steve Yardley before leaving

So we have landed at Kilimanjaro and are currently on a Dalla Dalla (a small bus with negative air con) for two hours to Chem Chem campsite! 

It's red hot here so I am comfortable! I'm suited to hotter climes!
Flights were good although we had a couple of hiccoughs first off! John (the man from the VEPK charity) had recently had his credit card stolen and we needed it to verify the bookings! It was touch and go for a minute there, but after he gave the airline some feedback, we were through! 

Good job we were 'Pilling early' though on this occasion as it took a while to sort!

Once on the plane, there was another incident, now I wouldn't say incidents follow me around but it was beginning to look that way! Prior to take off (thank goodness we were still on the ground) a lady started screaming and collapsed right near us in the aisle! 

Now,I know exactly what was going through mine,Steve, Sam's and Lou's head.....check for breathing, recovery position, heart massage, Vinny Jones-Saturday Night Fever style! Luckily there was a doctor on board who sorted her so she could get to a hospital before taking off. Phew! 

Little bit annoying as it delayed us very slightly, but all is forgiven, I'm sure she was having a worse time than us - so get well soon screaming lady on plane!

Anyway, since then there have been no major accidents, or indeed any incidents, and everyone is in good spirits and excited about arriving at Chem Chem!

Over and out for now!
