When I left the house in Kona, Steve and Laura hugged me and stood in the doorway waving me goodbye as I drove through the gate. I was very sad to leave. Kona was sunny that day and it was supposed to rain in Hilo. After a nice breakfast and some contemplation while staring...
So this is for you, Kai! When I see this, I wonder how my blood counts can be this good, not because of the eggs, but all this hollandaise. I have bought some great granola on Granville Island, that I have had for breakfast for the last couple of days… These photos were taken...
I felt it was time to snorkel with the pros in an more exciting area, so I followed Chad’s advice and drove to Two Step Beach. It is not unlikely that you will be swimmming with turtles and dolphins there. The water is not as calm as in Kona Bay and there are stone...
My stay in Kona was all about catching some sun and snorkeling. On my first day, after a highly recovering deep sleep, I drove into town and had… well of course Eggs Benedict in a restaurant facing the waterfront. When you travel alone, one of the advantages is, that they would always find room...
I got up early, to catch my flight to the Big Island. The rain had stopped, but you could feel that there was more of brutal rain to come. The air was heavy and dense as if I was inhaling soup. My flight was at ten and after I returned the car I checked...
Ok, this will be hard. My tablet is kaputt, so I am writing this with my mobile. So here is the short version of a very long day. It rained all day, but I didn‘t care, because the sound of the ocean was louder through the opened balcony doors. When I was finished with...
When I hit the road towards Hana, it was still cloudy. The road to Hana is very famous and therefore full with tourists… like me, so I won’t complain. As I would not touch that pancake mix ever again, I decided to have breakfast in Pai’a. I just love having a good long breakfast...
It rained all night and all morning, but I had decided to go to Haleakala at that day, so I went anyway, hoping the weather would be different up there. Afterwards I wanted to see Makawao, a little city between Haleakala and Kahului. I had the hostel pancakes again and decided that it was...
Today was my last day in Lahaina.The weather was supposed to be good until afternoon. I decided that I will spend as much time in the area as possible, because I was going to spend the night back in Wailuku in the same hostel, that I had been on my first two nights. As...
Monday I was lazy, today. I walked to the Café near the campground that was closed the day before to have the worlds best eggs benedict ever… and I’ve had many! There was raw tuna on the muffin as well. I couldn’t empty the whole plate with two eggs AND breakfast potatoes. I haven’t...
