Sun 1st Jan 2012
After the excitement of counting in the new year and then going to sleep at 12:01, today was a massive non-event. We woke up late, discovered the whole town was hungover, so went back home to do basically anything that didn't involve yahtzee.
We have put a great deal of thought into our New Year's resolutions - Justin's is not to die while climbing Kilimanjaro and mine is to just not die in general on this trip. Hopefully we go a bit better with these than normal new year resolutions.
Unfortunately, the other students had a horrible New Year's in Moshi, getting robbed four times, locked out of their hotel and then losing their key to their dorm, so they couldn't get in when they got back to Machame. We had heard a lot about how dangerous the big towns can be on nights like that, so it feels like an excellent decision to stay in little old Machame. Hope you are proud of our safe and responsible decision making, Mum!
We hen spent most of today washing, packing and cleaning which was highly boring so there's not much to write about unfortunately.
The evening was spent evening drinking lots of water so that our tear ducts would be nice and full for all the goodbyes we would have to say tomorrow - our last day at the hospital!
