First morning we wake up without the turtles - so obviously not a very fun morning if you ask me ;)
Del and Jake came to pick us up and we all went in to the fresh market and to check the bus schedule. The fresh market was really cool, but it wasn't very busy at the time we were there. Later they dropped us of at the mall and nothing excited happened really. We saw some retired people entertaining with morning gymnastics/hula haha. We had an exclusive lunch; Mc Donalds and charged up all our electronic before we finally could hit up the bus to Kona. Nothing exciting about the bus drive either. The driver is really rude and no fun at all. Way to ruin my bus trip lady! We saw some cool sites through the window, but except that we just froze our butts of for about 4 hours.
When finally arriving in Kona we start walking and hitching, this lady with her kid picked us up and took us down the valley. Thanks! That was our longest walk this far! It felt amazing to be in the back of the truck, feel the wind and just watch the road disappear, happy and thankful for the ride.
When we got dropped of in the valley we realized we were back by the City of Refuge. Great, were to camp here? It's not really cool to camp on religious ground...
We met this really odd or strange (verkligen helmysko! [SE]) dude who starts talking about us getting called to the island and stuff like that.. Creeepy! And make sure to keep the convo short with him. Though he was nice giving us water, passion fruits and advice about where to camp. Happy about our new camp spot we head up the road to set camp, the sun is already setting.
At the place comes the grand big surprise; we were sent to a lava field. Awesome! This dude must have been playing us big time, no joke about that! Or he really was that retarded? For you who read my earlier posts, you know how sharp lava is. Great. Corey was not to happy and I was getting irritated as well. We had our first grouch but got over it really fast. After walking in the dark for what felt like forever, we finally found a tiny spot (not even big enough for my tent) and decided it wouldn't get any better. It wass pitch dark, the ground was midnight black as well, thanks to the lava, we set camp, and tried to get comfortable. Haha! Easier said then done! Thanks to the raid, we had to bring our gear and all the equipment in the tent for the night, and then find a way to fit to adults in there as well. It was hot, humid, and since it rained we had to close the door... oh man I just looooved camping at this very moment. I started off with getting my shoulder stung by a branch through the tent floor and then slamming my foot on sharp rock. Awesome, this for sure would be the worst night. I cursed my tiny junior tent, kicked the darn rock a few times (it hurt more of course) and then I decided that after all - it could have been worse and I was still happy that I was back packing. I could have been alone, robbed, camping under a magazine in a ditch somewhere waiting for a ride, right? Lava fields are at least a some what exotic thing?
