Aloha! Ive decided that the best way to keep this up to date is to update as i go along instead of at the end of the week cos i miss out so much! So yesterday afternoon i went to Manua Kea, i was right it is the tallest mountain in the world (higher than everest yes!) but it cheats as 18,000ft of it is under water! We went right to the summit! My it was cool up there! We were above the clouds and looking down onto the world it was totally spectacular! On teh way up there we stopped at some waterfalls where apprentky lots of people die from jumping in! The problem is that it runs over active volcano lava tubes so when you swim over it sucks you down! Oops! I shant be trying that then! Because of how high up we were going we had to aclimatise at 9000 ft for an hour! It was weird the lack of oxygen made me breath funny (quite scary actually!) There was lots of Japanese tourists here so it was like running the gauntlet! Hahah! So we set off up this dirt track to what looked like mars! There was open craters, cinder cones, solid lava flows, snow etc... etc... Its amazing what nature can do! So we finally got to the top 14000ft and the view was breathtaking! Literally too! The sun was about to set so we had a quick look around the observatoiries that make mauna kea the worlds astrology centre. Cool huh! and then we took our seats for the most beautiful show in the world! Its times like these that i miss you guys to share this experience with me. Tom it was the most romantic thing ive ever witnessed and i wished you were there! Anyways, the sun set and we made our way back down (ears popping all the way back to 9000ft!) for our star gazing tutorial. We all stood in a crater and it was another amazing sight, we saw trillions of stars, the milky way, all teh famous constellations, jupiter with its 4 moons (i think thats right!) pluto, saturn, satellites moving in the sky (personally i think they are spies but hey!) and yes we even saw a shhoting star!!!! So i'm oficially the most lucky person in teh world right now! haha! So afterwards we all got hot chocolates and made our way back to camp! Its really made me excited for the trip today! Getting up close and personally with teh worlds most active volcano. Crazy! We are supopsed to see explosions, lava flow, steam vents etc... so i will be in heaven! It gonna be hot hot hot! haha! Well this morning i actually didnt think i would be going when i woke up with a hamster cheek! I got a massive ulcer/infection on my blooming wisdom tooth but i'm onto it and managed to stop it raging so much! Fingers crossed! Ok guys well thats about the extent of what i did yesterday! Well done Terrance i told you you would be fine! You always are! Dont worry about the man cold it will soon pass haha UNLUCKY though! haha!

A guy goes into the empire state building and goes to the bar on the 42nd floor. He sees its amazing up there and sits at the bar. The man next to him turns and says "hey, its amazing in here aint it?" The man says "yes it is. look at those pictures and these stools are beautiful." the man replies "well thats a van gogh and these are stools from the titanic. would you like to see something more amazing" The man replies "yes please" So the guy walk to the window opens it right up and says "watch this" the guy runs jumps and bounces back in through the window. The guy says "wow, that is amazing how does that work?" To which the man replies "well the height, the wind etc... you jump out it pushes you straight back in again. take a try" The man says "no way. thats dangerous what if the wind stops?" The man replies "the wind never stops. stop being a wimp and do it" So the guy runs, jumps and falls 42nd floors and dies. The man closes up the window and returns to the bar with a smug look on his face.
