Mt. Kilimanjaro

If you know me, you know that in my vacation I cannot sit still or lay on the beach (else… now you know). Instead, I want to do cool outdoor activities. The last couple of years I’ve done all sorts of stuff. Hiken, mountainbiken, parasailing, climbing, canyoning, rafting, etc. But after last years vacation there was not yet a real idea for this year. Until I remembered an evening with friends at Louis place.

It was one-and-a-half year ago on the regular Monday at Louis (which I am not attending too often unfortunately). For some reason I felt like having a glass of champagne…. but what would be the reason? Well… there was a documentary on Mount Kilimanjaro on tv. So we drank a glass on climbing it some time… yeah right… like we really believed that

Some time passed and we forgot all about it, until I was thinking about this years vacation. And indeed everybody still thought it was a crazy idea… but after some talking and a couple of beers we decided that we are going to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro this summer.

Planning started. We investigated routes, booked the climbing trip and tickets. So we are really going to do it!! Let’s hope we will make it all the way to the top.
I will probably post some more on it later.

But here is the ‘wise lesson’

If it sounds crazy, but also fun…. drink a glass of champagne on it and MAKE IT HAPPEN!
