Bitfever

I'm back in good 'ol Germany. I'm a bit sad that the trip is over. Hawai'i is certanly a wonderfull place. I'll miss it.

A few things I would do different next time (Do not take this to seriously ;-)):

• Put all my stuff in one backpack. Suitcases are insanly bad for spontaneous travel
• Set up my mailserver with a webmail interface (a lot of people sell you "Internet" and all you get is www)
• Install Internet-over-DNS software. Get real Internet even in www-only-proxy nets
• prepare some webpages with IE expoits to take control of a Windows-PC. You never know if you need that ;-)
• Not forget you Atheros-PCMCIA-Card so you can do WEP-cracking
  
• And do not forget you iPod on the plane.

We went from Hilo to Kona by Bus. The island is called Big Island for a reason, the Trip took about four hours. In the end we did get off one station to late, so we had to walk about three miles with all of our stuff (about 40kg per person) to a hostel. This took us about 2 hours and we were pretty dead afterwards.
Today we got up early and rented a car - finally. We did not want to repeat the walking session from yesterday ;-)

Since monday we are at Hilo, Big Island. The real name of Big Island is Hawai'i, but to avoid confusion it is called Big Island most of the time.
It really deserves it's name. This island is huge. The only way to get around here and visit the active vulcano or some of the other beautifull spots on the island is a car. the problem is that car rental is really expensive in the U.S. if you are under 25.
Nontheless we will rent a car later today and have a look at the vulcano :-)

I found a way to get them on my server, so here we go!
