Climbing Kilimanjaro 2017

All I can say is a massive Thank you to everyone who donated to my fundraiser and supported me on the way! Maybe the biggest Thank You to my Doctor, who was able to fix me, after an odyssey across hospitals and therapists of which all of them diagnosed me differently and did not help me whatsoever.

It really was a pretty incredible experience and I am still not sure if i can comprehend all of which that happened, but I am pretty grateful to be able to do such things again after 2 years of doctors and not being able to walk! It has not only given me new trust in my body/back again, but also tested my physical limits!

However somehow my learning curve seems to be fairly horizontal, because despite all the trouble, pain and really no real sense behind climbing a mountain, I would do it again!

I am now pretty tired of writing and the Zanzibar trip and the Safari afterwards were rather relaxing and not exciting, so reading about it won't be very interesting, hence I will just add some pictures:
