Day 9: Onto Arusha

The boys enjoyed a bit of a lie-in this morning, and a hearty breakfast, with weetabix! The new Inspire leaders Jack and Julia then took over, and we waved a fond farewell to Greg and Eamon.

 Our first stop was to the Commonwealth cemetery in Moshi where O.R Noel Gibbs is buried, having been shot in action in British East Africa in 1916. We held a brief ceremony led by George and Seb and observed a minute's silence in respect of his life and sacrifice. 

Then we headed to Meserani snake park for lunch and some brave people (Will) held some of the non-venomous vipers. 

After that we travelled back to Arusha and to Charity Hotel. There we had group orientation with Jack and Julia, and learnt more about the project at Gehandu and the programme for the week. We ended the evening with a delicious buffet supper and an early night. Looking forward to safari tomorrow. 

Some piccies from Kili!
