Wow! Finally the time is here when we are going to Mauna Kea! Whoehoee! Right in time before I have my flight in two days. Mauna Kea is the highest mountain in the whole wide world! It doesn’t look that high or big though! That’s because they started measuring it from sea level.
We start our journey with John's amazing red 4x4 Jeep! It’s such a blessing that he wanted to take us! It’s pretty hard to get up the mountain cause you need a 4x4 wheel drive car and the rental stations in Hawaii don’t allow you to go up there with their 4x4 vehicles. So here we go heading to Mauna Kea! We took a short picknic break at the foot of the mountain! It was lovely to spend some time here with nice company and some good snacks!
After that we had to make one extra stop at the Mauna Kea station platform to get used to the height and the thin air. We walked a bit around and we were ready to goooo!! We were so excited to see the view from the top of the highest mountain!
Wow, was the first thing that came out of my mouth when we arrived! It’s so wonderful and peaceful above the clouds! It looks like another planet! It felt like I was on Mars for a few hours! We made some photos and enjoyed the stunning sunset! When It went totally dark we watched the wonderful universe with all the shining stars! John shared this Bible verse with us!
‘“To whom will you compare me, or who is my equal?” asks the Holy One. Look up and see! Who created these? He brings out the stars by number; He calls all of them by name. Because of His great power and strength, not one of them is missing.’
Isaiah 40:25-26
What a great ending of this adventure and my time here in Hawaii!
