After lunch we got on the bus and drove back to Arusha. But before we could go to our celebration-dinner there was still one quite important thing to ogranize: tipping the guides and porters.

Since they get only very little money from the tour operators they really depend on the tips from the climbers. This was quite a challenge in terms of organisation and distribution because we had 6 guides, 2 cooks, one waiter and over 35 porters accompaning us and each of them should get a different tip. The matter was complicated further by the fact we had 3 currencies to deal with: euros, US dollars and Tanzanian shillings. But in the end everything went well and I think everybody was quite happy.

We even organized a small lottery of the things we wanted to leave to our new friends as a present.

Then we went to our well deserved (and late) dinner.
