We made friends with a few locals, Baisa and Andrew, who offered to show us up the mountain. We thought they knew the way up, but apparently they had to stop and ask for directions. This hike would take us halfway up the mountain to an old hotel known as Morning Side.There are little villages and small crops planted on the hillside. There are banana trees, cabbage patches, and a variety of vegetables. There are also one-of-a-kind species that live in this habitat that are found no where else in the world. I haven't yet learned what they are.
Nearing the top we were almost out of water. As soon as we saw Morning Side, we decided that it was too hot to go any further and we made a small picnic lunch of peanut butter sandwiches. Yum!
The Ulugurus rise to 2,630 metres at its highest point. That will be my next challenge.
