Vi tog tilbage til Volcano park. Vi ville gerne se noget lava, så vi kørte så langt vi kunne, men mange stop da landskabet var utroligt smukt på en brutal måde. vi stoppede flere gange og gik ned af størkenet lava, for at få nogle billeder af dette fantastiske lanskab. ud af det blå kom havet til syne og vi gik ned til kanten af øen, det føltes som verdens ende, at stå der. Et af de steder vi stoppede var et sted som hedder sea arch, dette var en klippe vælving som gik ud i vandet og er klart et kig hver. vi fortsatte vores færd for at komme hen til lavaen, men dette kan ikke lade sig gøre i bil, da vejen er fuldstædig dækket af størknet lava. Besluttet på at se noget aktivt ... read more

Big Island. Dette her er noget helt andet end waikiki. I lufthavnen var der et band med hula dansere, selve lufthavnen var meget chill, et baggage bånd og ikke særligt mange mennesker, vi troede at, tempoet på waikiki var stille og roligt, men de var på speed derover i forhold til her. efter vi havde hentet vores baggage, tog vi en shuttle bus hen til bil udlejningen og efter et kort møde med den flinke mand havde vi vores bil. Annett fandt ud, at bremserne virkede og at hun var vild med automat gear. så glad, at hun næsten heller ville køre end at gå, da vi ville ud og opleve kailua-kona. Kailua-kona er så afslappet og en helt fantastisk lille havne by, en kende turistet, men det er at forvente, men flot og charmerende er ... read more

Dec. 26th 2012, Kailua-Kona One of the most amazing dives of my life. Years ago divers discovered during nightdives, that mantas feed on the plancton that is attracted by the light of their flashlights. Also the mantas are not at all scared by the divers. Over the years these nightdives have developed into one of the top attractions on the Kailua-Kona Coast. From the manta's perspective they have educated divers to bring divelights to attract plancton... I don't think they are interested in us. We just carry the lights... Just when we entered the water, the mantas were already there and in full swing. They were attracted by the lights of the snorkelers, who were in the water before us... Watch these 3m-5m big fish turning loopings below the snorkelers! Now some more videos showing you ... read more

So it was another early start on Tuesday, with a pickup at 5am to take me to the airport. The flight was short so I actually spent more time at the airport waiting to board than I did in the air. The airport at Kona was the first on this trip that didn’t look like every other airport, because it’s small and much of it is outdoors. A shuttle bus took me to my accommodation – the Hilton Waikoloa Village. Of course, it was only 8:30am so while I was able to check in, I couldn’t access my room yet. However, I was told that it would be ready in a few hours, which meant I would be able to get in there before I was to be picked up for the tour of Mauna Kea. ... read more
