ADIOS SEGOVIA

Me hoki pea i te takurua!

Kei runga māua i te tereina e wehe ana i Hekōpia. Kāore rawa i te hiahia kia wehe, engari kua huri whaka te kāinga te ihu o te waka.

He maha ngā wāhi i tae atu māua i ngā tau kua hipa, engari he ouou noa iho ngā wāhi e rite ana ki Hekōpia! Otirā, he maha ngā wāhanga o Peina kei te karanga mai. Ko tā Aroha me hoki māua ki konei whakanui ai i tōna rāwhānau 60! Nō reira, me penapena moni.

SEGOVIA - TE TĀWHANAWAI

Kua takaroa rawa au ki te patopato kōrero. No te ngenge o te tangata tāwhaiwhai, neha? Engari i te ata nei i oho rawa au i te whaiwhai atu i te tāwhanawai o Hekōpia nei.

Kua kite au i ngā tini whare karakia me ngā pā tūwatawata o te ao waha Paniora, engari te kitenga atu i te mahi whakahirahira nei a te Rōmana! Ahakoa te pai o aua whare karakia me ngā pā tūwatawata rā, me mihi te publicum bonum, arā, te manaaki-ā-iwi o ngā Rōmana. Engari tātou e āwangawanga ana i te ora, i te mārama o te wai. Ehara rawa i te mea hōu!

I kite māua i te tāwhanawai inatahi rā, engari i whakatau au ki te whai atu i te tāwhanawai i tētahi pito ki tērā atu. Ka haere atu au – i te ānini te māhunga o Aroha] – ki te pātū tōtonga o te tāone tawhito. 

Rere mai ai te wai i rāwāhi rā.

Ka heke ki raro, ā, ka whai whaka te tonga i te tāwhanawai. Ka piki, ka piki, ā, ka kore ngā pewa. Nāwai rā ka tae atu ki te whare whakapaipai, arā, he whare e totohu ai ngā parapara, ngā onepū ki raro ki te kōrua ki rere atu ai te wai mārama.

I roto i te whare whakapaipai.

 

Ka haere tonu ki te wāhi i puta ai te wai i raro i te whenua ki te tāwhanawai, i te kōrere wai i hangā ai e ngā Rōmana. 13 kiromita te roa o taua kōrere manawa whenua i rere ai te wai i te paemaunga o La Sierra de Guadarrama! 13 kiromita!

Anei te wāhi i puta ai i te manawa o te whenua.

Te waitohu o te korere wai i raro rā.

Na, ka tae te wai ki te koutu o Hekōpia, ka rere iho anō ki te manawa o te whenua kia toro atu ai ki te wāhi o te Alcázar! Åna, ko au tērā e rapurapu wairangi ana i ngā waitohu e tohu ana i te kōrere wai o raro. Mehemea he mīhini wā!

Ahakoa te aha me kōrero te nanakia o ngā Rōmana ki te hanga i ngā tāwhanawai – te mutunga mai o ngā pūkenga. Ko te tūporo matua i tū tonu ai ngā pewa nei!

Kotahi te tūporo kōhatu!

LA ALHAMBRA

Kāore ngā kupu whakapaipai e rahi ana hei whakaahua i te wāhi nei. Ko te mutunga mai o te ātaahua, o te rangatiratanga, o te oranga ngākau, o te aha, o te aha!

E pēnei ana aku korero ahakoa kāore māua i uru atu ki roto i ngā whare ake o ngā kīngi Arapi o te tāone nei. Me āta pānui ngā tohutohu, Uenuku! 

Heoti, kotahi te rongoā – me hoki mai anō ki Grenada nei!

GRANADA I

He tino taonga te tāone nei. He taonga i waenganui i ngā tini taonga! Kei roto māua i tētahi whare pākoro i te Calle Cocheras San Cecilio 5. He rawe te whare nei, ā, e pai ana te rahi. Kei raro tonu i La Alhambra, me te poupou o ngā ara kia tae ake ai ki reira!

He rite ngā tiriti o Granada ki ērā o Toledo me Sevilla. I muri i te taunga ki te whare pākoro i haere atu ki te rapu kai. Kua mea mai te kaiwhakarite, a Nacho de Chile, kia rapua atu te tiriti La Elvira, e mea ana i reira ngā bares de tapeo. Ka kitea te recomendado, ko Bodegas Castañeda. Ka noho ki te wāhanga ōkawa kai ai.

Ko tāku ko ngā pāpāringa poaka, carrilleras de cerdo, te reka hoki. Me ngā maramara rīwai, no te tihi o te maunga. Ka mutu te kai, ka whai māua i te awa Darro ma te paseo de los tristes, arā, ko te huarahi i whai ai ngā arapī pōuri i tō rātou pananga i Granada. Ka piki ki te tihi o te Albaycín titiro atu ai ki La Alhambra. Ka whai wāhi i te marae o te mezquita, arā, o te whare karakia Muhumana. I te tōnga o te rā ka rongo i te muʾaḏḏin e karanga i te hunga whakapono, na, i te titiro atu ki te taonga rā i riro i ngā Karaitiana i te tau 1492.


 Ka heke ki raro kua pō rawa, ā, ka hoki ki te kāinga.

SEVILLA

He uaua te patopato i ngā kōrero i muri te rangi roa, i te rangi wera. I te pērā ngā rangi o mua tata nei. Nō reira ka hē rawa te takataka o ngā kōrero!

Na, mehemea he rangi wera rawa, ko tēnei nā. I tae ake te pākiri ki te 39°! Ko te tikanga, ka tae atu ki te Alcázar a te hāpāhi i te iwa, engari i oho i te 9:20. I te haerenga atu ki te Alcázar, ka rapu atu  te Plaza de las Cruces, i te wāhi i kite ai a Raquel i a Jaime me Osito, me te kurī, i te taha o te ciego, o te tangata kāpō. Koina te tikanga o te whitiata nei! Ka tonoa hoki a Te Aramoana hei mea katakata māna.

Ka tae atu ki te Alcázar, kua roa rawa te rārangi. Nō reira i peke atu ki te Taberna Belmonte, i tapaina ki te ingoa o tētahi matador rongonui. Kei ngā pakitara ngā pane pūru e noi ana. He pai te kai, engari i raruraru te tūmau venezolano i taku chiste. Me tūpato, Uenuku! 

Ka haere māua i reira ki te catedral, engari i te kati i te whakatapu i ngā pirihi hōu. He rawe te rongo i te kaiwaiata.

Ka āta hīkoi atu i reira ki te mākete o Triana. Kua whai tuanui i te wā i a Raquel. I reira te wahine e hoko ana i ngā profiterole, hei mahi pea ma Bub Tali'ai! Ka whakawhiti i te rori ki te wharekai María Fultrica. Kātahi te wharekai - i te hanga, i te wāhi, i te kai. E piri ana ki te pito Triana o te arawhiti Isabel. Ahakoa te iti o te whare, e rima pea ngā papa. I noho māua ki raro, i te papa tuarua, ā, ka titiro atu ki roro o te arawhiti.

Me titiro ki te taunga ipurangi kia kite koe i te hanga o te whare. Engari kei te tino hiahia ki te kōrero i tā māua postre. Ko te ingoa ko 'ngā huamanu o te kōhanga'. Hangaia ai ngā mea katoa ki te tiakarete, hāunga ngā tōhua - he mea kātete rēmana ērā. Ko te pāpapa me te whakakahu, he tiakarete mā - he mārō tō tērā, he ngāwari tō tērā. Anā, ko te kōhanga, he mea hanga ki te tiakarete parauri me te pihikete parāone. Te mīharo ki ngā mahi a ngā kaitunu!

Ka mutu te kai, ka haere māua ki te tarawāhi o te awa Guadalquivir whakaari ai i ngā kōrero a Raquel rāua ko Elena. E toru ngā tangohanga kia tika ai! Āna, i tukuna hoki ki a Aramoana!

MADRID III

I oho i te 8:00 i te ata nei - kāore he mahi whare taonga, kāore he mokopuna. Ka mutu te whawhao pēke, ka peka atu ki te teihana tereina hoko ai i ngā tīkiti me te waiho i ngā pēke ki te pātaka taputapu.

El pintor Velázquez

Ka hoki atu ki te bar El Brillante kia kai i te parakuihi, kātahi hoki te parakuihi. He tiakarete Paniora mete bocadillo de calamares (he hanawiti ngū). Me te hoihoi o te wāhi rā, ko ngā tūmau e kārangaranga ana, tētahi ki tētahi. Te pai o te hoihoi!

Ka haere i reira ki El Prado. E tika ana ngā korero, koina tētahi o ngā tino whare waihanga o te ao. I pau taku kaha i te papa tuatahi, kīhai rā i tae ake ki te papa o Velázquez. Otirā i kitea ngā mahi a Goya – engari āna mahi papanga! – a Bosch, a wai rā, a wai rā. I te mōhio kē ki ētahi, engari ngā mea hōu, he pērā i tā Antonio Gisbert Pérez, El fusilamiento de Torrijos y sus compañeros en las playas del Málaga. He mea rahi rawa, me te maha hoki o ngā mea hei āta mātakitaki.

Ka haere atu i reira ki te wharekai o te hōtera Radisson. €14 noa iho te utu o te tina o te rā, ā, te reka hoki. Ko te mea tino pai ki a au ko te salmorejo, he hupa mātao me te gazpacho.

Ka mutu te kai ka karioi haere anō i ngā tiriti o te takiwā. Āe rā, ka pai te wāhi rā hei nohoanga!

MADRID II

I puta atu māua ko Aroha ki waho, ki te wera o Madrid. He uaua te whakawhiti i te tiriti! Ka mutu te torotoro i te teihana matua, ka rapu atu i te la calle Huerta, he tiriti e nui ana ngā bares de tapeo. Kātahi hoki te takiwā. Ka rata au ki te noho ki reira. E kī ana ngā tiriti i ngā toa waihanga. Me te mā hoki o te takiwā. Ka rongo te wairua i te wairua tau, i te wairua kaha o te tāone nei. He tawhito te nuinga o ngā whare. He maha hoki ngā rākau e pai ai te hau.

Ka noho mātou ki te kai i te bar Los Rotos. Te pai hoki o te waina i kai ai au, ko te Melquior no Ribera de Douros. Ka kai māua i te 'roto de alcachofa' me ngā 'puntilillas de calamar', arā, ko ngā pito kawekawe ngū.

I raro iho i te bar tētehi pakitara tupuranga otaota, he pakitara whare teitei. Ka hemo a Mereana i te tirohanga atu! E tata ana te toa tuitui e koakoa ai a Mereana - mehemea i konei!

Ko tā te tohu i te kokonga e mea ana, "Me te mea hoki ... māku koe e whakaako ki te tuitui!"

MADRID

Kua tae māua ko Aroha ki Madrid. Kei te Hotel Mediodía i te pūtahitanga o te tāone, i rāwāhi o te teihana tereina matua, o Atocha. Te pai hoki o te whenua e taunga ana māua ki te reo me ngā tikanga! Kotahi te mea whakapōuri ko te wehe i tā māua mokopuna i Frankfurt.

I tangohia te whakaahua nei inanahi i te hokinga mai i Rūpeka (Lübeck). Ka whā ngā wiki kāore he mokopuna!

I oho mātou i te 3:00, ā, i maranga kotahi hāora i muri i tērā. Kua wehe i te Hamburg i te 5:00. He mutunga kore nō ngā taraka i runga i te rori. I tētahi wā kua 160 km/h te tere o to mātou waka. Kāore he rori kē atu i ō Tiamani!

Kia mutu te hīrere o Aroha kua haere māua ki te tirotiro, ki te hoko tīkete tereina ki Toledo, ki te peka atu ki tētahi bar de tapeo.

TE RERENGA ATU

Kua tae ki Tāmaki, ā, kei te tāria te karanga kia haere atu ki te kēti o Guó Háng 国航, 
koina te 'Rererangi Haina'. E hia ngā pātai 
a te mokopuna i te haerenga mai mā runga 
pahi, "Āhea tae ai ki te taunga rererangi?" 
Na, kua tae, ā, kāore  e roa ka rere atu!

KA TAPOTU TE WAKA

Kei tō mātou marae, kei Ngākeipa ahau e tatari ana i a Aroha kia hoki mai i tana hui i te taha o tana rōpū. Ko tā rātou ko te whakarite i a rātou mo te haerenga ki Pāturi [Hamburg]. Engari los Fairhalls e hoki atu nei ki taua tāone rā e tū ana a Rauru. Ko te mea hoki e harakoa ana te ngākau, ko te haerenga o te mokopuna i tō mātou taha!

Hei aha ngā moni ka pau i te haerenga atu, ko te hikinga o te ngākau te mea nui. I konei a Hamu rāua ko Hēni Mītere e mea ana, "Auf wiedersehen!" Koina tāku ki a Rauru i tērā atu tau.
