Trek phase 2

We started our 20 day adventure trekking 190km ( 119 miles) across central Tanzania mountains near Iringa.  We have 8 venturers (6 women , 2 men), 2 male guides, and 2 male Volunteer Managers (VMs)

Ben and Sam in proper Raleigh gear 

Half the group near the start of the trek. 

Huge granite-like boulders.  Need to look up more about the geology of the area when I get internet access again. 

A Twig snake that we saw on the ground and then climb up into the branches where it was perfectly camouflaged and very quick moving.  They are poisonous so this was with maximum zoom on my camera.   It is quite small about 1/2 inch in diameter and perfectly camouflaged except when it moved. 

Sam taking a quick nap next to the stream at campsite noshed Water Heaven. Earlier in the day I sat in the small rapid with water running over my shoulders and across my full brimmed hat.  Very nice location and cold water feels great on tired feet.  

 At Idodi campsite, Will bought everyone a Sprite for dinner.  Tired of room temp soda we decided to at least chill them down to river temperature.
