32. 我想- 第32天我想 (英语请向下滚动)

1.30 叫醒电话！！这甚至比每天过早把我们从床上叫醒的自大的公鸡更厉害，真的是在玩命... 计划是在凌晨3点到达自行车租赁店，由他们把我们送到海拔3000米的哈雷阿卡拉火山（大约2小时），以便欣赏日出，然后骑自行车疯狂逆风下坡到海滩。我们的瑞士单身汉明星Vujo会说：真酷，兄弟！理论上是的，实际上不是。

我预定了一个导游旅行，因为我想可能会很黑，我不知道路线，而我那个经常受伤的Zoe，我认为后面有一辆服务车会很方便。首先，我们不得不看两次 (!) 安全视频，以防第一次没有理解 - 记住：那是凌晨3点... 然后司机一路不停地讲，上山时冷得要命。我们知道在那个时间和高度会有点冷，虽然大概有5度并不算太冷，但那个强烈的马洛亚风吹得都来了夏威夷。 日出的时候也有点困难，因为有很多云一方面遮住了阳光，另一方面又倾泻出了其中所有的水。好吧，也许我们会在下坡时更多地享受。 不，我们没享受到，导游确保我们都一个接一个（按数字升序！）骑行在一起，严格禁止超车，否则我们就会被送到后面的服务车里，要在非常无聊的地方停下来，而我们想停的地方却不允许停，因为团队需要按正确顺序保持在一起... 嘘，这对我这样一个自由奔放的灵魂来说真是个挑战。大约10.30我们到达了底部，我看起来像一根挤压的香肠（我穿了3条裤子和4件上衣）。我们看起来更像是来自吕讷堡高地，而不是夏威夷，Hubi亲切而当仁不让地评论道。🙂 我们本可以选择“非导游”的方式来预定，这样回头看可能会更好。毕竟这条路并不是火箭科学 - 它只是往下走，如果你走得太远，你就会落入大海 - 迷路可不是个容易的事。日出后也不再黑暗，如果需要的话，我们可以从沥青上抠出Zoe。

但是哈雷阿卡拉火山的月球般的景观，红棕色和赭黄色的沙地和丘陵，散布着凝灰岩、火山岩和零散的银剑，使这一切都值得。

1.30am wakeup call! That beats even the arrogant rooster who gets us out of bed every day far too early and by doing so, really risks its own life… The plan was to be at the Bike rent shop at 3am, who would take us up to the Haleakala volcano at 3000 above sea level (about 2 hours) to admire the sunrise and then race downhill with the bike to the beach. Our Swiss Batchelor star Vujo would have said: that’s wickeeeed maaan! Theoretically yes, practically no.

I booked a guided tour, because I thought it would be dark, I don’t know the route and with Zoe getting injured far too often, I thought to have a service car behind us would be handy. First we had to watch twice (!) the security video, just in case we didn’t get it the first time – it was 3am nota bene… then the driver did not stop talking all the way and arrived on top it was bloody freezing. We did think it would be cold at that time of the day and altitude, and with about 5 degrees it wasn’t even that cold, would it not have been for the cold Malojawind which blew so hard it even made it to Hawaii. The sunrise part was also a bit difficult, because there were terribly many clouds which a.) covered the sun and b.) poured all water it contained. Ok maybe we will have more fun with the race down. Nope we did not, the tour guide ensured that we all biked one after the other (numerically ascending!) behind each other, overtaking strictly forbidden or else we would end up in the service car behind us, we had to stop at super boring places and where we wanted to stop, we were not allowed to, as the group needed to keep together in the right sequential number… Pfff that was a bit of a challenge for such a free spirit like me. Around 10.30am we arrived at the bottom, and I looked like a squeezed sausage (I had 3 layers of trousers and 4 top’s on). We did look more like we came from the Lüneburger Heath rather than Hawaii, as Hubi commented charmingly and rightfully so 🙂 We could have booked it all also “not guided” which in hindsight would have been better. The path wasn’t rocket science after all, it all goes downhill and if you go too far you end up in the sea – getting lost would be difficult. It wasn’t dark after sunrise and if needed bee, we would have scraped up Zoe from the asphalt.

But the moon-like landscape of the Haleakala volcano with the sand surfaces and hills in all shades of red-brown and ocher yellow, sprinkled with Tuffcones, the Lavarocks and the scattered Silversword made it all worth while.
