Ke ulu wikiwiki nei ka holo ʻana ma ʻEulopa - ke kokoke mai nei e hoʻohālikelike iā Alaska ma ke ʻano he wahi punahele i ke kauwela - a aia nā kumu maikaʻi.
He mea paʻakikī ke lanakila i ka holo ʻana ma ke ʻano he koho e hoʻāʻo i nā wahi he nui ʻoiai ʻaʻole ʻoe pilikia o ka hoʻopili ʻana a me ka wehe ʻana a hiki iā ʻoe ke hauʻoli i ka ʻoluʻolu o ka noho ʻana i kēlā me kēia pō ma luna o kahi moku holo moana.
ʻOiai ua paʻakikī nā ʻāpana ʻē aʻe o ka ʻoihana huakaʻi e hoʻopau i ka huli ʻana o ka hoʻokele waiwai ma US - nā wahi ʻē aʻe o ka honua i kēia manawa, ʻo ia hoʻi - ke piʻi nei ka holo ʻana o ʻEulopa. Ua ʻōlelo ka poʻe ʻōlelo a ka ʻoihana holo moku ʻEulopa ma mua o 3.6 miliona mau kaʻa i kēia makahiki e manaʻo ʻia e hoʻomaka i kā lākou holo moku mai ke awa ʻEulopa, a ʻo ia mākeke i kēia manawa no ka hapahā o nā moku holo moku āpau i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ma ka honua.
ʻO ka holo ʻana i nā mokupuni Pelekane ʻo ia kekahi o nā mokuahi ʻEulopa, a ʻo 57 mau Minnesotans hema - i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ma ka 21st cruise i kākoʻo ʻia e ka Post-Bulletin - hiki ke hōʻoia i kēlā.
ʻO ka huakaʻi 2,300-mile (ʻAukake 15-30) i lawe i nā moku holo moku i ʻEnelani, ʻIlelani, ʻIlelani ʻĀkau, Wales a me ʻEkokia - hoʻokahi lā ma Farani - aia ma luna o ka liner maikaʻi ʻo Princess Cruises, ke Kamāliʻiwahine Nui.
ʻO ke kūlanakauhale hanohano o Lādana, kekahi o nā kūlanakauhale i kipa nui ʻia ma ka honua, ʻo ia ka hoʻomaka a me ka hopena o ka huakaʻi 15 lā. Ua hoʻonohonoho mākou i ʻelua lā kipa ma laila ma mua o ka holo ʻana, a ua kūpono ia.
ʻO ka hapa nui o ka hui i koho i kahi huakaʻi "Total London Experience" i ka lā holoʻokoʻa, ʻo ia hoʻi ka mākaʻikaʻi ʻana i ke kūlanakauhale kaulana ʻo West End, Westminster Abbey, Hale Hōʻikeʻike ʻo Household Cavalry, Buckingham Palace a me kekahi o nā hanana kiʻi nui loa ma ka honua - ka Changing o ka Kiai - me na kipa ana i ka Convent Garden, St. Paul's Cathedral, the Tower of London - featuring the Crown Jewels - and the London Eye.
ʻO ka maka he gimmick hou i ke kahua mākaʻikaʻi o Lākana. Kūkulu ʻia ma ke ʻano he millennium attraction i ka makahiki 2000, ua kākoʻo nui ʻia ka huila nānā nui e British Airways. Piʻi nā poʻe holo i loko o nā capsules 20-kanaka ma kahi o 400 kapuaʻi ma luna o ka honua no ka ʻike ʻana i ke kūlanakauhale.
ʻO Lākana, e like me ka mea e manaʻo ai, he mea hoihoi nui ia ma ka huakaʻi akā ʻaʻole ʻo ia wale nō.
ʻO ka kū mua ma luna o ke Kamāliʻiwahine Nui 2,500 - ʻo ia ka home no kahi 150 mau kānaka hou aʻe ma mua o ka mana o ka moku i helu ʻia - ʻo ia ke awa ʻīpuka o Ireland, Cork. ʻO ka hoʻomaha mua i hoʻonohonoho ʻia, ma Guernsey Island, ua kāpae ʻia ma muli o ke kai kiʻekiʻe.
ʻO ia ka mea e alakaʻi iā mākou i ka lewa: He mau mokupuni Pelekane maʻamau i ka hopena o ke kauwela. ʻO kekahi lā maʻamau e like me kēia, ʻaʻole pono ma kēia ʻano: ʻO ka ua māmā, kahi lā, a me kekahi mau ao, me kēia papa kuhikuhi me he mea lā e kaʻawili ana i ka lā. ʻO ka maʻamau ka wela ma waena o 60s kiʻekiʻe, kūpono no ka huakaʻi, manaʻo ka hapa nui o kā mākou hui.
ʻO ka noho ʻana ma Cork i ukali ʻia e kahi kū ma Dublin, me kāna mau huakaʻi huakaʻi kaulana. Ma hope aʻe ʻo Liverpool, ʻEnelani - ke kūlanakauhale ʻEulopa o ka Culture i kēia makahiki me nā hale kūʻai kaulana "Beatles Story" a me nā mea hōʻikeʻike he mea hoihoi. Ma hope o kēlā, ʻo Scotland a me ke kikowaena ʻoihana o Glasgow.
ʻO Belfast kahi i kū ai ke awa a me ka hoʻomohala wikiwiki ʻana i ka ʻĀina ʻĀkau. ʻO ka hana hou ʻana o kēlā kūlanakauhale ma hope o ka hoʻopau ʻana i ke ahi ma waena o nā Katolika kaua a me nā Protestant he mea weliweli loa ia.
ʻO nā hale kākela Highland a me ka mea kilokilo o Scotland - me ka kipa ʻana iā Loch Ness, ka home o ka moʻolelo o ka Monster. Ma hope o ka huakaʻi, ʻo ia ke kūlanakauhale awa ʻo Scottish o South Queennsferry, ka ʻīpuka e hiki ai i Edinburgh ikaika, ka puʻuwai kālai'āina, kālepa a me ka moʻomeheu o ia ʻāina.
Ua manaʻo mākou ua waiho ʻia ka maikaʻi o ka moku holo moku. ʻO ia kahi hoʻomaha ma ke awa Farani o Le Havre, kahi i koho ai ka poʻe kaʻa e hoʻolimalima i ka lā ma Paris a i ʻole Normandy. He koho paʻakikī kēlā.
ʻO ka lele ʻana i ke kahua mokulele ʻo Heathrow ʻo Lākana - ka mea nui loa ma ʻEulopa - ma o Northwest Airlines a me kāna lawelawe hoʻomaha hou ʻole ma laila mai Minneapolis-St. Paul International.
