Unbelievable

This will sound like a very cheap movie script. But it's fucking real. So I was supposed to fly from Berlin to Portland, Oregon today, through London and Seattle. We're standing at the gate, waiting to board, when they make the announcement that the flight has been cancelled. Fuck yeah. So we're supposed to pick up our luggage, go out landside again, to the BA ticket counter and they will rebook. Well, first problem, luggage isn't there. Second problem, there's one and a half guy at the tiny counter only for 300 passengers. Finally, they reticket me, later flight to lhr, then via Vancouver to pdx. And they tell me to get my luggage from A05. A05 tells me to go to lost and found, which is a ten minute walk, another 40 minutes queue. They know nothing about my luggage. Meanwhile check in closure time approaches, so back to the check in counter. They suggest I fly without my luggage. I tell them to Fuck off. So I can't board the reticketed flight either. Another 45mins at the ticket counter again. And then back to lost and found. Now, finally, someone from lost and found goes to check behind the gate WHERE THE FUCKING LUGGAGE HAS BEEN STANDING AROUND ALL THE FUCKING TIME! and he promised to bring it to me. I mean I could see it behind the glass wall all the time. Now he comes back, he doesn't have a driver at the moment, we have to wait for a driver to transport my 10,5kg luggage 5m through a glass door. Beautiful.

Of course I won't make it out today and probably not at all. But one thing is for sure:

The first thing I'll do when I'm back home is delete my executive club account, send all my cards back to British fucking airways and tell them I hope they die. Fucking morons.

Das gute ist, die Sonne scheint. ☺

FUCK YOU BRITISH AIRWAYS!

FUCK YOU BRITISH AIRWAYS!

FUCK YOU BRITISH AIRWAYS!

FUCK YOU BRITISH AIRWAYS!

FUCK YOU BRITISH AIRWAYS!

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...
