2006年阿鲁沙（坦桑尼亚）第24天-乞力马扎罗山

We drove to Mount Kilimanjaro via Moshi today. The trip took about two and half hours each way, so the day was pretty much consumed with driving. The road to Moshi from Arusha is one of the nicest I've seen in the country so far, although I'm sure the roads are much nicer in Dar es Salaam. The whole way we saw only clouds over the mountain...it didn't show its top at all. We're told that days and days can pass without seeing it, and then one day it'll just show itself, so it's a crapshoot. We had only this day free, so we just went for it.

今天我们经由莫西开车前往乞力马扎罗山。 每次旅行大约需要两个半小时，所以开车一天要花很多时间。 从阿鲁沙到莫希的道路是我迄今为止在该国见过的最好的道路之一，尽管我确信达累斯萨拉姆的道路要好得多。 整个过程中，我们只看到山上的乌云...根本没有显示出它的最高峰。 有人告诉我们，一天又一天会过去，而看不到它，然后有一天它会自我展示，所以这是一个废话。 我们只有这一天有空，所以我们去了。

Foreigners (Mzungu) have to pay US$35 a head to get even to the base camp, and we weren't that interested, so instead we found a local who'd take us to a "secret" viewing spot for 10,000TSH (about US$8.30) and we figured we'd give it a try. Certainly it could have been BS or a trap but we numbered six with 3 decent sized men so we took the chance. He had no car, so he got in the back of ours and we headed a few kilometers (way) off the beaten path over some of the worst roads I've ever seen, to the middle of his village. He then said to walk like three minutes off to one side and we started to get concerned it was some kind of trick. My brother-in-law paid a kid to watch the car and we went off. We saw a very nice waterfall from a great angle and had a nice side adventure, but didn't see the mountain as it was all overcast and clouds. The whole day had been gray since early morning.

外国人(Mzungu)必须支付每人$ 35美元才能到达大本营，而且我们对此并不感兴趣，因此我们找到了一个当地人，愿意将我们带到“秘密”观光点，费用为10,000TSH(约$ 8.30美元)，我们想尝试一下。 当然可能是BS或陷阱，但我们用3个体面的男人编号了6个，所以我们抓住了机会。 他没有车，所以他进入了我们的后排，我们从人迹罕至的道路上走了几公里，经过了我见过的最糟糕的道路，到达了他的村庄中间。 然后，他说步行约三分钟就走到一侧，我们开始担心这是某种技巧。 我的姐夫付钱给一个孩子看车，我们下车了。 我们从一个大角度看到了一个非常漂亮的瀑布，并且进行了一次奇妙的冒险旅行，但是没有看到这座山，因为它全是阴云密布。 从清晨开始，整整一天都是灰蒙蒙的。

We headed back, slightly bummed, towards Arusha as it started to get towards dusk and someone in the car turned around at some point and announced "oh my gawd" and we pulled the car right over and took this picture with my Casio Z750. It was a fine cap to a fine day, and a nice story as we move towards the end of the whole trip next week. (At that point I'll start the new year with more technical posts if I have any readers of this blog left!)

当它开始接近黄昏时，我们驶向阿鲁沙(Arusha)，微微震颤，某个时刻有人转弯，宣布“哦，我的天哪”，然后我们将车停下来，用我的卡西欧Z750拍了这张照片。 这是一天的美好时光，也是一个不错的故事，因为我们将在下周完成整个旅程。 (到那时，如果我还有这个博客的读者，我将在更多的技术文章中开始新的一年！)
