Last Saturday we made it on the top of the tallest mountain on earth!!! Mauna Kea is 4205m above sea-level. However, much of the mountain is below sea level; when measured from its oceanic base, it stands at more than 10200m.

We rented a truck and took on the way to get there some pictures at the beach and digusted some coffee and chocolate which was really delicious.
We just arrived on time on the top of the mountain, the sun was just starting to set  - good we had each other to give us warm in the back of the truck while looking at one gorgeous sunset over a sea of clouds. It was freezing cold up there.  Nevertheless we really enjoyed it and we've been finishing our day with gazing at the most awesome (i know but this was reallly most awesome) starry sky.
