See the last few photos!
Thanks to all of you who visited and hopefully enjoyed my blog all the time! Thanks too to all the nice people we met during the trip: our trekking guide Bashu, the Singapore Scouts; Sarah, Jessica, Jennifer, Derrick, Grace, Jean, and all I forgot!, the very nice McBurneys from Sydney and last but not least the outback Scouts in Alice Springs.
Special thanks to my lector, the Anglist Leo!
Also thanks to my brother for uploading some home sent photos and to my parents for "some" financial support ;)
And finally, of course, thank you Johannes for your companionship!

Gemma Ham!
Exactly 3 hours to go - then the airport shuttle bus will pick me up here!
There is a small photo update in the Hawaii Album with some new pictures from my fishing tour and the Diamond Head. Unfortunately, Paris Hilton is having her vacation on another island of Hawaii, so I could not tell her how much people in Austria love her ;)
See ya soon!

Hawai'i - Last Stop!
Here we go! Hawaii (accurate spelling "Hawai'i" - wiki) in the "Aloha State" is the final part of my journey.
Well, there is not much to tell about it. It's just Hawaii! :)
Because I am not 21 yet I am not allowed to buy beer or any other alcoholic drink here. But as I am not dumb I found another way to enjoy some delicious American "Gerstensaft"! Thanks to Jarrod from Melbourne!
By the way, if you thought, Americans are wimps because they drink light beer, that's not true! "Light beer" means that there are less calories in the beer. So it has nothing to do with the percentage of alcohol.
If you ever plan to go to Hawaii, hire a car or be rich enough to pay for taxis. You can take the bus as well, but you will have to anticipate (rechnen mit) that it takes a long time. Yesterday I took the bus from Waikiki to the Water Adventure Park which is about 20 miles beeline (Luftlinie) and it took me more than 2 hours. However, the bus is very cheap: 2 bucks - wherever you go.
I tried body board surfing today and it was really cool! You should just be aware of the sharp coral reef which is very short below the water surface, especially at low tide (Ebbe). So if you see someone walking along the beach bleeding from some small injuries of his body he is certainly a surfer :)
Keep in mind to see the newest album Hawaii - with "special" coconut-dressed ladies!
