MOST WELCOME BENCHES IN THE WORLD?



They may not look like very much but these are the benches right by the official lodge at the foot of Kilimanjaro where you wait to get your certificate to show that you have successfully climbed the mountain! I was luckily not to find a collapsed walker on them as well.

Oh, that's lovely. I have always dreamed to going up Kilimanjaro, however with my lung conditions, it won't happen. Maybe I can visit the lodge and sit on these one day, dreaming of the mountain.

It's worth dreaming of, Shane. It's the hardest thing I've done, but so beautiful. Here's a video for you, not us but a similar experience - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bxq53a1bTsU
