Travel: Lake Chala

Most people say there are crocs.  But we asked the locals and they said hakuna mamba so we guessed we were ok.  I think the last croc siting was ten years ago.  No one ventured too far from the shore though.  We had to walk 30 minutes down a very steep trail to get to the lake, but the kids did it up and down 4 times because swimming was so much fun.  We got to see Mt Kili, eat good food with friends, drink, play, and fight flies.  We may all have diarrhea next week due to the flies but it was worth it.  The camp site is a new camp site owned by a European.  It had actually picnic tables, toilets and showers.  There was even a bar with semi cold stuff.  We took our own tents and made a weekend of it.  Cole wants to go back every week and he doesn’t even like to walk or hike- but he did great.
