After more rummaging, I found some more clues as to where I had stayed -- it
was the Keys Hotel in Moshi. So, I'm not sure how I came about the card with
the name Midlands Lodge on it... But I do remember the Keys Hotel now.
They organised my trek via the Machame Route (at my request) -- which turned
out to be one of the highpoints (no pun intended!) of my time on the African
continent.
Having popped over to this newsgroup, I find it exciting to read the posts
of those about to visit Africa. Though it has been several years, I can
still recall vivid images of seeing Kibo a bit closer after each day of the
trek. I think the most memorable sight was on the final day of the ascent
seeing the sun rising through the clouds over Mawenzi.
