As soon as we were finished taking our pictures, which took about fifteen minutes, we began to descend. It would have been nice to stay up there and explore a little. Your basically sliding all the way down slipping onto your butt and lying there in order to nurse a pounding headache. After about three hours the headache began to subside and the path becomes less steep and more solid. Mweka Hut is located at 3100 meters and is a large camp.
Food is available for purchase as is pop, beers and water.
The prices are triple what you would find in Arusha and there is no price negotiation - monopoly rules. Just bring money and be happy you can buy some refreshing drinks. There are many groups of people camping there either returning from the peak or on their way up. I searched very long for a stream but was unable to find it even though there supposedly was one.
