It will be the best to see the Kilimanjaro in early in the morning, about the sunrise, so I woke up 6am.

日の出直後がキリマンジャロを見るベストな時間帯らしい。そんなわけで朝6時に起きて外に出てみると。

The mountain was visible and getting clear as the sun rose up.

見えていましたキリマンジャロ。日が登るにつれてはっきり見えてきて

By 7am, the sky became very clear. It seemed the lucky day for viewing mountain.

7時にはクッキリ。ここまでクリアに見えるのは珍しいらしい。そしてキリマンジャロを拝んだ後は


Time for drink a cup of Kilimanjaro coffee, so I went to cafe and asked the cup of coffee. Then, they brought in front of me. It was a cup of hot water and a can of instant coffee. Very disappointing but this is Africa.
Actually, I found later on that it was very normal way to serve coffee in east Africa. In west Africa, I could have better coffee since they were French culture.

キリマンジャロコーヒーでしょ。早速カフェに行ってコーヒーを注文したら、お湯とインスタントコーヒーの缶が出て来た。ガックシ
ちなみにどのカフェでコーヒーを注文しても同じようなスタンスらしい事に後々気付いた。西アフリカならフランス文化だからコーヒーは美味しい物が飲めたのだけれど。


I completed my mission; watching Kilimanjaro and drinking a cup of Kilimanjaro coffee so now crossing the border of Tanzania.

キリマンジャロは拝めた事だし、気を取り直してタンザニアに行く。Oloitokitokからさらに11キロ走って国境到着


From Oloitokitok, the border was 11km east. It was small border post and very easy to process both side.
From here, I started cycling around Mt. Kilimanjaro.

小さな国境で出入国手続きはいたってスムーズ。すんなりタンザニア入国を果たした。ここからキリマンジャロ外周コースに挑むのです。
