Nā Mokupuni ʻo Lofoten

E hele ana mākou i Norewai e ʻike i kahi pae ʻāina ma waena o ka nahelehele loa. ʻO nā mea āpau e pili ana i nā kāhea Nā Mokupuni ʻo Lofoten. Aia lākou i kahi wahi maoli, kahi e hoʻokipa ai nā mauna iā mākou a kahi e ʻike ai mākou i nā manu kai a me nā kihi kahakai, ʻoi aku ma mua o ka maikaʻi.

Me ke kanalua ʻole, kahi hui maikaʻi loa e hoʻolilo i nā mokupuni ʻo Lofoten i wahi ʻē aʻe e kipa ai. Aia lākou ma luna o ka Arctic Circle a aia ma laila, kahi e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke lawe i nā hana he nui. No laila, inā makemake ʻoe e ʻike i nā mea āpau a me nā mea hou aʻe e pili ana i kēia wahi, mai haʻalele i ka mea e ukali nei, no ka mea me ke kānalua ʻole, e hopu ia iā ʻoe.

Pehea e kiʻi ai i nā mokupuni ʻo Lofoten

E like me kā mākou i ʻōlelo ai i ka hoʻomaka, aia lākou ma Nolewai a noho i kekahi mau kūlanakauhale ma ia wahi. He ʻeono lākou a pau a penei: ʻO Moskenes, Værøy a me Røst, Vågan, Vestvågøy, Flakstad. E kiʻi i nā mokupuni ʻo Lofoten hiki iā ʻoe ke hana ia i nā ʻano ʻokoʻa. ʻO kekahi o lākou ma ke kaʻaahi. Hiki iā ʻoe ke lawe iā Kiruna, Stockholm a i ʻole Narvik akā ma hope, kahi ʻāpana o ka huakaʻi hiki iā ʻoe ke hana ma ke kaʻa ʻōhua. Holo nā kaʻa ʻōhua i kēlā me kēia lā mai Bodø, Narvik a me Harstad a i Slowakia.

ʻOiaʻiʻo nō hoʻi ma waena Bodø, Svolvær a me Værøy aia nā moku a me nā waʻa hoʻi e lawe i nā kaʻa. E like me kā mākou e ʻike ai, nui a hewahewa nā koho e hoʻokokoke aku ai iā mākou i nā wahi o kēia pae ʻāina. No kahi huakaʻi pololei, hiki iā ʻoe ke lele mai Oslo a Svolvær a me Leknes. Aia a laila, aʻoaʻo mau ʻia e hoʻolimalima i kahi kaʻa e hiki ai ke hele aku mai kekahi kihi a i kekahi kala, no ka mea inā ʻaʻole ʻoe, e aʻo pono ʻoe i nā papa kaʻa ʻōhua.

Nā hana i hiki ke hana ʻia ma Lofoten

I ka manawa ma kēia wahi, hiki iā ʻoe ke hana i nā hana he nui, e like me kēlā me kēia ʻono. Ma ka lima hoʻokahi, hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i ke kuahiwi i kahi mahalo iki aʻe i ka hele wāwae. ʻO kahi ala kūpono e ʻike ai i nā kihi a me nā ʻike kupaianaha. ʻOiai, ke kokoke loa o ke kai a hoʻopuni ʻia e ia, ʻaʻole mākou e kala iā mākou iho i ka hana ʻana i nā hana wai ʻē aʻe.

I kēia hihia, hiki iā ʻoe ke heʻe pū kekahi luʻu rafting a i ʻole ka luʻu scuba. Eia hou, ua ʻōlelo ʻia ma kēia wahi ʻo ia kekahi o nā pinepine pinepine kahi e ʻike ai mākou i ka heʻe nalu. E hoʻomanaʻo ma hope o kēlā me kēia o nā hana, pono hou mākou i ka ikaika. No laila he aha ka mea i ʻoi aku ma mua o ka ʻai ʻana i kahi pā iʻa maikaʻi. Kekahi mea maʻamau o kahi i piha i nā kauhale lawaiʻa.

He aha e ʻike ai ma nā mokupuni ʻo Lofoten

Ma waho aʻe o ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana i nā haʻuki, hiki iā mākou ke kipa i kēlā me kēia kihi i ke ʻano o nā kaona. Me ke kanalua ʻole, ma kēia wahi e loaʻa iā mākou kekahi mau mea e ʻike ai.

• Hamnoy: Aia ia ma Moskenes, hoʻokahi mile wale nō mai Reine. Hoʻopili ʻia nā mea ʻelua ma o ke kaʻina o nā alahaka. He aha ka maʻalahi o ke kipa ʻana iā lākou.

• Å: ʻAe ʻo ia kekahi o nā nā kaona me ka inoa pōkole. Akā i ka manawa like, aia kahi moʻo o nā hale kuʻuna o nā mea makamae loa. Hoʻonohonoho ʻia ka hapa nui no ka hoʻokipa. ʻLelo ʻia ʻaʻole ma kahi o 100 ka poʻe e noho ana i kēia wahi, kahi e noho mālie ai a e pakele ai hoʻi i ka walaʻau a me ke koʻikoʻi. Hiki iā ʻoe ke kū ma kāna hale hōʻikeʻike i hoʻolaʻa ʻia no ka lawaiʻa ʻana.
• Lā: ʻAʻohe ona poʻe hou aku ʻē aʻe. Akā ʻo ia kekahi o nā kauhale lawaiʻa kahiko a me ka lawaiʻa pū kekahi. Aia ia a puni ke awa, a hiki iā ʻoe ke nanea i nā manu e noho ana ma laila.

ʻO nā kukui ʻĀkau mai Lofoten

Ua kamaʻilio mākou e pili ana i kona kahakai a me nā kaona e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke kipa, ʻoiai he nui hou aku. Akā inā aia kekahi mea hiki ʻole iā ʻoe ke kāpae i ka hana ʻana ma kēia wahi, he mea ia e hauʻoli ai i kahi manawa kilokilo. ʻO ka Aurora borealis hoʻonani aku lākou i kēia wahi. Me he mea lā i ke kau hoʻoilo, nā kala nā mea e hoʻokalakupua ai kēia wahi. Hoʻohui pū nā kukū ʻākau me ke kai, e hana ana i kahi hopena kū hoʻokahi.

Eia kekahi, aia mau nō kumumanaʻo hiki ke kiʻi kahi manawa e like me kēia. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hana mai Haukland a mai ke kahakai ʻo Uttakleiv. Inā ʻoe ma ka hema, hiki iā ʻoe ke hele i Skagsanden. Akā inā makemake ʻoe e hoʻomaha iki a ʻoluʻolu i kēia manawa, ʻaʻohe mea e like me Storsandnes. ʻO kahi laʻana, mai ke Alahaka ʻo Hamnoy hiki iā ʻoe ke kiʻi i kahi kiʻi maikaʻi a leʻaleʻa i kēlā manawa.

I ka wā hea e kipa aku ai iā Lofoten

Pono e ʻōlelo ʻia he wahi kēia ke aniau māmā ma mua o kekahi e hoʻopuni iā ​​ia. ʻO kēia ka hewa o ke au mehana e hele mai ana mai ke awawa. Inā makemake ʻoe e nanea i nā kukui o ka ʻĀkau, a laila hiki iā ʻoe ke kipa i kēlā wahi mai Kepakemapa a ʻApelila. ʻOiai mai ka hopena o Mei a Iune hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i ka lā i kapa ʻia ke aumoe. Mai ka mea a mākou e ʻike ai, ʻo kēlā me kēia ʻāpana o ka makahiki kona mau maikaʻi.
