Drive to Rongai Gate

Team Kilimanjaro picked us up bright and early on Saturday morning to head out on our great adventure to climb Kilimanjaro.  They loaded the bags and packs onto the bus and we were off.  Everyone was excited and ready to get on with the climb.  We just had to make it through the 6 hour bus ride to the Rongai trailhead gate, including a stop for last minute supplies at a local mini-mart, and a stop at the Marangu gate for paperwork and permits.  By the time we reached the trailhead, picked the porters, weighed the bags, and ate lunch, I was exhausted.  It was going to be a long day.
