Does your banner still wave?

Und die Antwort lautet: Sir, yes Sir! Was für eine fantastische Hinrunde. Who would have thought? Die Voraussetzungen waren ungünstig: Viele WM-Fahrer. Micoud weg. Klasnic tot. Abwehr Chaos, neue Außenverteidiger. Kein Gefahrenhorst mehr. Dann die Auslosung, ich wusste, nachdem die ersten beiden einer jeden Gruppe ermittelt waren sofort, dass wir in Gruppe A kommen. Keine Chance. Der Ligapokal, Bayern wurde locker "weggefegt" und "niedergemacht". Diego ist der Geilste, wer ist Micoud? Ach ja, der sitzt bei Bordeaux auf der Bank und macht die selbe große Karriere wie Ernst und Ailton. Btw, wer ist Frank Rost?

Die Saison, größtenteils begeisternder und erfolgreicher Fußball, trotz plattem Klose, trotz Borowski-Verletzung, trotz Mertesacker-Rekonvaleszenz, trotz Pokal-Aus in Pirmasens. Who cares? Die CL beginnt, 1:1 gegen Barca, weil Schaaf das Wechseln nicht lernen will. Drei Siege in Folge, das Aus, weil Schaaf die taktischen Defizite Womes unterschätzt. Zwischendurch auch noch Bundesliga und das trotz vieler Widrigkeiten. 47 Tore, Diego fünf Mal Fußballer des Monats oder so, Klose auch einmal. Führen Torschützenliste und Scorerliste an. Naldo killt zum Ende alle. Zwischendurch Bayern noch mal demontiert, dreimal sechs Tore auswärts und hinten bald so stabil wie 2004.

Und das geilste: Wir haben noch Steigerungspotenzial ohne Ende.
Die Abwehr kann sich endlich einspielen, erste Vorbereitung für Mertesacker und Naldo, hoffentlich mit Schulz auf Links in der Zukunft. Borowski wird wieder fit. Klose wird wieder fit. Vielleicht sogar Klasnic. Jensen wieder back to form, Diego kann sich weiter einspielen. Baumann wieder fit. Da geht noch einiges.

Gandalf the Pedophile

Driving down south to Kerikeri was beautiful: we took the time to take the scenic coastal route, visiting gazillions of beautiful beaches and inlets. Bliss and joy. KK itself is very nice of course as well, real fruit icecream, need I say more. On a rainy Saturday afternoon we went to Ngawha hot springs, which rocks totally. Basic, ramshackle pools, or rather woodclad holes in the ground with different temperatures between very hot and scorching, after one hour you have a baby's skin again. Amazing. We stayed at the very nice and highly recommendable Kerikeri Farmhostel and the reisebegleitung greatly enjoyed the Kunekune pigs they keep. Before Xmas crazyness took over the whole place we left for Whangarei Heads and that's where the old pedowizard comes in. But more of that tomorrow, I have to and eat one of the best breakfasts of all times now. Just remember: always stay with your arse to the wall when meeting old man with grey beards and pointy hats.

Rain!

But warm. And not real rain. Just a drizzle. It's gonna clear up any minute. ANY MINUTE. I'm sure. Everybody's sure of that. Has been sure for the past three days. The only thing I'm sure of is that it will indeed clean up after we've left tomorrow and that the clouds will follow me to Napier. Because they too love me. I'm a raingod after all. Since I'm so incredibly butch and such a great manly bloke I did not let the rain keep me from exploring the mountain. Didn't go up to the top because that would have been stupid. The forest is truly amazing! Brings out all the hippie genes in me. But only for a millisecond. Gotta finish up now, have to clean my rifle and go rabbit and possum hunting. Kill a couple of God's creatures, just for fun.

Hawai'i, a résumé

Well, well, well. Looking back with a couple of days distance I must say that Hawai'i was underwhelming. It was nice, no doubt about that, bur I certainly won't be going there again and I think there are better places with less hassle and rules and regulations in the world. But anyway, let's try to wrap it up in a post. Flying into Hilo is niiiiice. On a clear day. You get beautiful views of valleys, forests, waterfalls, kinda like a very short scenic flight (provided you have a window seat on the right side of the plane). Domestic flights in HI are relatively easy going: our baggage arrived always very quickly and the car rental companies are just across the exit door from baggage claim. I had pre-booked our cars through NKT Travel and everything worked perfect - we got a good price, good, reliable car, no worries at all, so I can definitely recommend them. You don't really need a 4WD (unless you have a very specific use case planned). We rented a "mid-size...
