Looking down at the sunrise - from the crater rim of Mt. Kilimanjaro!
All summer long, they roamed through the woods and over the plains,climbing mountains, playing games and having fun. None were happier than ten Norwegian Vikings, and they easily made friends with everyone while preparing themselves for their adventure! Wherever they went, they were given a warm welcome, but as summer drew to a close, they realized that folk were drifting back to their usual jobs, and preparing for winter. Autumn came and it began to rain. The ten Norwegian Vikings started to feel they were ready for their journey. The ten Norwegian Vikings traveled and traveled, further than far, and finally ended there - the mysterious and existing Tanzania, for trying their endurance on the world famous mountain, named by the local Maasai tribe - the white capped mountain - Kilimanjaro!
The magical mountain - 5.895 meters high - "The roof of Africa"!
Luckily, they meet two local mountain men, Dickson and Milton, who agreed to herd them through the rain forest, over the moorland, climbing up crossing the alpine desert, for 5 long days until the last night - when they had to push all their strength and will, for the ultimate goal...
At night, up and upwards, step by step, they were guided and pushed by their strong, steady native guides, til morning - to experience the wonder - looking down at the sunrise!
From there they stumbled on wards, passing the glaziers as the sun was rising...
Finally, jumping and shouting in pure joy, all the ten Norwegian Vikings made it to their goal - Uhuru Peak, The freedom peak - it felt like the "Top of the World". They felt they could hear the whole Viking Tribe back home cheering, congratulating them all on their achievement!
Filled with the pride and joy after their achievement, they knew that now the fun was over now and they must set back to their homeland to work like the others, back to the cold and rain, but with amazing stories from their adventure, keeping them, friends and family warm and happy through the cold winter...
Then they lived happily ever after! The end!
