ʻO Don Curry im Hagelsturm

Hoʻopau ʻo Don Curry i kahi ʻāpana nui o kāna huakaʻi i kēia lā. ʻO ka huakaʻi, i hoʻolālā mua ʻia no ʻekolu mau ʻāina, ua hoʻemi ʻia i ʻelua mau ʻāina ma muli o ka hōʻole ʻana o Azerbaijan. E hoʻopau ʻo Don Curry i ka ʻāpana ma ʻAmenia i kēia lā i mea e hoʻi ai i Georgia a e makaikai ikaika i ka ʻaoʻao komohana o ka ʻāina ma laila. Inā hele nā mea a pau e like me ka mea i hoʻolālā ʻia.

Ua kali mua ʻia kahi papaʻaina i hoʻomoe ʻia iā Don Curry i loko o kahi lumi ʻaina kakahiaka maikaʻi: berena, sausage, cheese, nā ʻano mea kanu like ʻole a me nā huaʻai, yogurt, jams, keke a me nā mea hou aku; ua hana hou ia ka omelete nona i kona hiki ana mai. Ma mua o kona haʻalele ʻana i ke kūlanakauhale maikaʻi ʻo Gyumri, makemake ʻo ia e kipa i kahi hale hōʻikeʻike liʻiliʻi i pani ʻia i nehinei, Poakahi. Hoʻolaʻa ʻia ia i nā kaikuahine ʻelua ʻo Mariam lāua ʻo Eranuhi Aslamasjan, i hele mai mai Gyumri a ʻo ia kekahi o nā mea hana kiʻi nui loa ma ka Soviet Union. Ke hōʻike ʻia nei kekahi mau kiʻi pena, nā kiʻi a me nā hana seramika mai kāna hana nui. I loko o kā lākou mau waihoʻoluʻu ʻālohilohi a me nā kumu folksy, ua like kekahi mau mea me ke ʻano o Frida Kahlo, akā nele loa i kāna hōʻike pilikino. Ma hope o ka ʻaina kakahiaka ʻai ma Villa Kars, ua hāʻawi kēia ʻaina kakahiaka i ka mea pono e hoʻomaka ai i ka lā. Ma hope o ka hoʻolilo ʻana i kāna dram hope loa i loko o kahi hale kūʻai kūʻai nui, ua haʻalele ʻo Don Curry me ka ʻole o ka haʻalulu no ka palena.

Ua lawe ʻo ia i kahi kumu koʻikoʻi iā ia iho. ʻO ke ana wahie a Xerra ma mua pono o ka "E" no ka "hamoha." Akā, ʻoiai ʻaʻole i ʻā ke kukui ʻōlelo melemele, ua manaʻo ʻo Don Curry e hoʻopiha ʻo ia ma hope o ka hele ʻana i ka palena; ma Georgia, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka Super a ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi. No laila hoʻomaka ʻo ia. Ma hope koke iho o Gyumri, ua ʻā ʻia kahi kukui ʻōlelo aʻo ma ka ʻaoʻao o ke ana wahie. Ehia kilomika i lawa ka wahie? ʻAʻole ʻo ia i ʻike. Aia he 50 km e hele ai i ka palena. He ʻumi mau kilomika ma mua o ka palena, ua ʻike hope ʻo Don Curry i kahi pahu hau kahi āna i makemake ai e hoʻopiha i ka liʻiliʻi he 20 lita no ka palekana. ʻAʻole naʻe i ʻae ka hale hoʻokele kinoea i nā uku kāleka, a ʻaʻohe kālā ʻAmenia e Don Curry. Kuhikuhi ke kahu kinoea i ke alanui e hiki aku ai i ka palena, a manao iho la o Don Curry e hiki ana iaia ke hoomaopopo aku aia no kekahi hale kiola e ae koke mai ana i na kāleka. ʻAʻole naʻe pēlā. Ua ʻōlelo paha ke kahu e hoʻopiha ʻo ia i Georgia.

ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o ke kaʻe ʻana o ka palena a ʻoi aku ka ʻoi aku o kēia manawa ma mua o kona hoa like i hoʻokahi pule i hala. ʻElua ala kaʻa ma ʻaneʻi, kahi e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke holo pololei a hiki i nā helu helu helu. Pono ʻoe e puka i waho a wehe i ka pahu no ka hoʻokele dute. He kikoʻī loa ka luna dute Georgian a ua lawe ʻo Don Curry i kāna mau ukana i ka ʻeke ukana no ka nānā ʻana. Ua hele wikiwiki a maʻalahi nā mea a pau, akā,ʻaʻohe wahi kinoea ma ka palena. Wahi a GoogleMaps, hiki wale ke hoʻopiha i ke kūlanakauhale aʻe ma 30 km. He 30 km hou aku? E hiki anei ia Xerra? Ua hoʻāʻo ʻo Don Curry e hoʻokele e like me ka hiki ke hiki. Ma hope o 20 km, ua ʻike koke ʻia kahi hale hoʻokele kinoea ma ka ʻaoʻao o ke alanui i ʻike ʻole ʻia e GoogleMaps. ʻAʻohe Super, akā holo wale ʻo Don Curry i 10 lita o ka ʻaila maʻamau i loko o ka pahu. ʻO ia ka pau ʻana o kēia huakaʻi hoʻomāinoino. I loko o ke kūlanakauhale, ua hoʻopiha ʻo Don Curry i ka pahu i ka piha me ka petrol premium.

Ua hoʻomaka mua ia e dribble ma ʻAmenia. ʻEleʻele-hinahina o ke ao e kau weliweli ana ma luna o nā puʻu ʻōmaʻomaʻo o Jawaketi ma ka hema o Georgia. Ua hoʻoholo ʻo Don Curry e pale aku i ka ʻaoʻao pōkole i Wardzia Monastery ma luna o nā kilomita he nui o nā ala ala ʻole, makemake ʻo ia e hele i ke ala asphalt a puni nā puʻu. Ma mua koke o Wardzia, ua komo maoli ka ua nui, ua hoʻomālamalama ka uila i ka lani ʻeleʻele hohonu o ka ʻauinalā a halulu ka hekili ma kahi mamao. ʻO ka Vardzia Cave Monastery kekahi o nā waiwai moʻomeheu koʻikoʻi ma Georgia. Akā hiki ke ʻimi wale ʻia ma nā ala wāwae ʻuʻuku a me nā alapiʻi he nui a ma ka ʻaoʻao pōhaku. I ka ua nui, ʻaʻole makemake ʻo Don Curry e hōʻike iā ia iho i kēlā. No laila, huli aʻela ʻo ia ma ke kahua kaʻa a holo i kona wahi e hele ai.

I kona hele ʻana ma waena o kahi i hoʻokuʻu ʻia ai ka hekili. He mau mauna huahekili keʻokeʻo e laina ana ma ke alanui, ua lilo nā alanui hili i nā kahawai. Ua ho'okumu 'ia nā wailele ma nā wahi a pau a ma kekahi mau wahi, ua uhi 'ia ke alanui holo'oko'a nā loko i hana hou 'ia. ʻAʻohe o kēia mea i pilikia no ka Xerra kaumaha a lōʻihi, a ua hauʻoli ʻo Don Curry i ka hele ʻole ʻana ma kēia wahi hekili ma kahi kaʻa maʻamau. Ua ninini ʻole ʻia no kahi kokoke i ke ala holoʻokoʻa. ua emi ka ino ma mua o ke kaona o Akhaltsikhe.

Ma ʻaneʻi ua huli ʻo Don Curry i ka monastery o Sapanta kiʻekiʻe ma nā mauna ululāʻau. No ka mea e kulu ana, ʻo ia wale nō ka malihini. ʻO ka hōʻailona e pāpā ana i ke kiʻi kiʻi e kau pono ʻia ana ma ka puka o ka hale pule, a e noho ana kekahi mōneka makaʻala i loko o ka hale pule. Ua mālama ʻia nā frescoes nani o ka wā kahiko, aia i waena o nā mea nani loa o ka ʻāina, ma Sapanta. I ka wā i hoʻohaʻahaʻa iho ai ka mōneka i kona poʻo i luna o ka papa i mua ona, ua lawe ʻo Don Curry i kēia ma ke ʻano he ʻae huna e kiʻi i nā kiʻi. ʻAʻole makemake ka mōneka e ʻike. Ua hoʻi ʻo Don Curry i Akhaltsikhe, kahi i kali hou ai kahi hōkele ʻē aʻe iā ia. Ua kūkulu ʻia ma ka pā o waho o ka pā nui ʻo Rabati ma luna o Akhaltsikhe a me kona ʻano hikina i hui pū ʻia me nā wahi a puni. Ua hana pono nā lumi, akā hāʻawi ʻia kahi hiʻohiʻona nani o ka pā hikina a me kekahi o nā hale kiaʻi.

I ka poha ʻana o ka lā, nīnau ʻo Don Curry inā hiki ke kipa ʻia ka pā kaua ma ka hola 6:00 p.m.? Ua loaʻa iā Don Curry kahi tikiki a piʻi i nā ʻanuʻu i ka pā hale i loko. I loko o ka paʻakikī paʻakikī, pono ʻoe e piʻi mālie i nā alapiʻi hou aʻe, he mea kupanaha ka hale pule mua, ʻo ka hale i hoʻonani ʻia i kēia manawa. Aia kekahi mau hale a me nā māla ʻē aʻe i ke ʻano hikina, kahi halepule, kahi hale hōʻikeʻike a me kahi hale kiaʻi pale ikaika i lele ai ka hae Georgian. Ua lawe ʻo Don Curry i kona manawa e makaʻala i nā mea āpau me ka maluhia a hiki i ka piʻi ʻana i luna o ka hale kiaʻi kiʻekiʻe, kahi i hāʻawi ʻia i nā hiʻohiʻona mamao ma luna o Akhaltsikhe a me nā ʻāina a puni. Ua ʻoi aku ka nani o ka pā kaua ma mua o ka wā ma mua, akā ʻo kona mau hiʻohiʻona kiʻi he ʻahaʻaina kiʻi.

Ma hope o ka iho ʻana, manaʻo ʻo Don Curry ʻo ka manawa kēia no ka ʻaina ahiahi. Ua kauoha ʻo ia i ka mea kūikawā Jawaket kūloko, ʻo Tatarberak, me ka hale kūikawā "Gino Spezial" a me nā ʻuala palai ma ka ʻaoʻao, i hele pū ʻia me ka wai Borjomi a me kahi hue rkatsiteli, ʻo ke koena o kāna e lawe pū me ia. Ua ʻike wale ʻo Don Curry ua kauoha ʻo ia i nā pōkā kaloli i ka wā i lawelawe ʻia ai ʻo ia. Aia ʻo Tatarberak i nā noodles e like me farfalle i loko o kahi kīʻaha yoghurt buttery, a laila hiki ke hoʻopili ʻia me ke kālika i ka ʻaila, nā ʻalani i kālua ʻia i ka ʻaila a me ka ʻaila kawa. ʻono akā hoʻopiha puʻuwai. Akā, i ka hiki ʻana mai o "Gino Spezial" ma ka papaʻaina, ua pūʻiwa maoli ʻo Don Curry. I mua ona he kīʻaha kīʻaha ka nui o ka skillet, ma lalo o kahi papa mānoanoa o ka tīhi, ʻokiʻoki ʻia ʻo veal fillet me ka puaʻa ʻokiʻoki, nā halo a me nā aniani i loko o ka pata momona a me ka ʻaila ʻaila, ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia me nā ʻāpana ʻuala palai a hoʻonani ʻia me nā tōmato. ʻOiaʻiʻo kekahi o nā kīʻaha ʻono a ʻono loa ma kēia huakaʻi, akā pono ʻo Don Curry e haʻalele i ka hapalua. Ma hope o kahi chacha hakakā momona, hele ʻo ia i kona lumi e kali i ka pō. A laila hele hou ʻo ia e mahalo i ka pā kaua i hoʻomālamalama ʻia i kēia manawa mai nā hiʻohiʻona āpau.

Ua hoʻi ʻo ia i Georgia me ka piha a māʻona. ʻOiai inā e hoʻopanee ʻo ia i ka monastery Wardzia a hiki i ka lā aʻe, ua lawa ka hauʻoli, pono e ʻike ʻia a ma luna o nā mea āpau, ʻoliʻoli no kēia lā.
