This was me giving the Thank you speech on behalf of the group to the porters on our last morning on the mountain. Whitey was translating for the porters and Ian was signing for Mark, who is deaf.
Just afterwards the porters burst into song followed by a big group dance. That just about warmed us all up for the next 6 hours of walking off the mountain, back through pretty damp rain forest terrain!! But boy were we looking forward to the hot showers back at the hotel - I think it's just as well I lost my sense of smell in that car accident!!
We were all in the same boat so perhaps cancelled out the smell from one another, having said that, it's really unfair that as the week progressed the men looked more and more rugged and handsome whilst the women looked more and more unkempt and haggard - life's not fair!!??
