The Journey

The Journey
This is travelling from one place to another.  It's up to a person to choose where he or she is going. It can be East side, West, North or South side depending on what is going to take place.
Let me talk about my journey to the Kilimanjaro mountains in Tanzania my neighbourhood. I used a bus to travel from Uganda to Tanzania, the journey was fun because I met new friends who made me remarkable memories. It was 980 km from here to Tanzania.

I really wanted to reach Kilimanjaro mountains just to take a close look at the snow. It filled my eyes, wondering how it came about. It was really
beautiful seeing it for the first time.
We were a group of 6people, who decided to go hike on Kilimanjaro
mountains. When I touched on snow, it was cold but amazing in my eyes, we had fun when we camped because this was my first time to go for camping, viewing of Ngorongoro crater and sight seeing for example i saw birds of different species and this bought life to me because it was so fabulous.
That marked the end of my journey to mountain Kilimanjaro.
