Ka Moʻaukala o ke Kumumānāwai o Monaco
ʻO Monte Carlo, ma ke kumukānāwai o Monaco, he wahi punahele loa ia no ke kāheaʻana i nā malihini hele moana i ke kai Mediterranean. ʻOi akuʻo Monte Carlo (kahiʻekolu kapuaʻi ka loa - emiʻoleʻelua mile) a noho i kahi pōhaku nui e kapaʻia Mont Des Mules e nānā ana i ke kai. Hoʻokaʻawale kekahi alanui iā Monaco mai Farani, a noʻonoʻoʻoleʻoe iāʻoe e neʻe ana ma waena o nā'āinaʻelua. Aia ma kahi o 30,000 mau kānaka o Monaco, kahi i kapaʻia e nā kānaka,ʻo Monegasques, he 25 pakeneka o ka lehulehu.
I ka makahiki 2003, ua hoʻokumuʻo Monte Carlo i kahi moku holo moana hou i ke awa o Monte Carlo. Hoʻomaopopo kēia hale hou i ka mea maʻalahi ke kipa aku i kēia kaikunāne hoʻokūkū naniʻo Mediterranean no nā kaukani mau kau moku holo moana me nā moku e komo anaʻo Monaco i keʻano o ka leo.
Manaʻo ka poʻe he nui keʻano o Monte Carlo a me Monaco, no ka mea heʻuʻuku ka'āina. Aia kekahi mauʻano likeʻole ma Monaco. Ua hoʻopuni ke kūlanakauhale kahiko o Monaco-Ville i ka hale aliʻi ma kaʻaoʻao hema hema o ke kahakaiʻo Monaco. Aia ma ke komohana o Monaco-Ville ka'āina hou, ke awa, a me ka moku o Fontvieille. Aia ma kekahiʻaoʻao o ka pōhaku a puni ke awaʻo La Condamine. ʻO ka'āpanaʻo Larvotto me kona kahakai kahakai i laweʻia mai ma ka hikina, aʻo Monte Carlo aia i waenakonu.
ʻO ka moʻolelo o kaʻohana Grimaldi pule a me nā wahi a puni e hoʻonanea ana a hiki i nā makahiki he nui. Ua kapa muaʻia ke awa o Monaco i loko o nā moʻolelo i hope i ka 43 BC i ka manawa i hoʻokaʻulua aiʻo Kaisara i kona mau'auwaʻa ma laila me ka kakaliʻana iā Pompey.
Ma ka kenekulia 12, ua hāʻawiʻiaʻo Genoa i ka mana kūloko o ka moku holoʻokoʻa mai Porto Venere a Monaco. Ma hope o nā makahiki o ka hakakā, ua kāʻiliʻo Grimaldis i ka pōhaku i ka makahiki 1295, akā, he mau mea palekana ia ma nāʻaoʻao e pili ana. I ka makahiki 1506, ua kū'ē nā Monegasques, ma lalo o Luciano Grimaldi, i kahi nohoʻehā malama ka lōʻihi e ka poʻe koa Genoan heʻumi mau manawa o ko lākou nui.
(He mau leo like me kahi hoʻokani pila-ka-TV ma ka hana a Monaco paha o ka Alamo!)ʻO Monaco i loaʻa i ka mana piha i 1524, ua paʻakikīʻo ia e noho kūʻokoʻa, a ma nā manawa likeʻole, aia ma lalo o ka mana o Sepania, Sardinia, a me Palani. Ke holo neiʻo ia ma keʻano he aliʻi mō'ī.
ʻO kaʻohana Grimaldi heʻohana aliʻi iʻike nui loaʻia. ʻO nā mea i aloha iā Grace Kelly a mahalo mākou i nā "royals"ʻike maikaʻi i kēiaʻohana. ʻAʻole ponoʻoe e lilo i mea heluhelu no nā tabloids eʻike e pili ana i nā Grimaldis. ʻO ka pilina ma waena o Monaco a me Palani he meaʻono. Ua hoʻounaʻia kekahi kānāwai hou ma Farani a hoʻounaʻia iā Prince Albert,ʻo ia ke poʻo o Grimaldi me ka mō'ī o Monaco. Inā makemakeʻo ia, lilo ia i kānāwai ma Monaco. Ināʻaʻole,ʻaʻole!
Ua lawa ka nānā o Monaco e makemakeʻoe e noho i kekahi manawa. ʻO ka nānāʻana i loko o ke awa kūmau he mea kupaianaha. Ua hoʻolahaʻia ke kūlanakauhale ma luna o ka pōhaku a ma loko o ke kai. Ma muli o ke kau liʻiliʻi, ua kūkuluʻia kekahi o nā hale ma luna o ka wai. ʻO nā alanui o ke kūlanakauhale e hoʻolālā wale i nā kālā. ʻO nā kaʻa a me nā limousines nui nā wahi apau. ʻO Monte Carlo kahi wahi e hele ai ka huakaʻi "waiwai a kaulana" eʻike aʻikeʻia.
ʻO ka hoʻolimalimaʻana a me ke kaapuni e pili ana me ia,ʻo ia ka noho ola mua o ke kūlanakauhale no ka halaʻana o hoʻokahi haneli. Ināʻaʻoleʻoe he mea pāʻani, maiʻae i ka mālama iāʻoe mai ka holoʻana i Monaco. Eia naʻe, me hoʻokahi lā wale nō i ka port, aia kekahi mau hana'ē aʻe e pili ana i nā mokupuni i Monte Carlo a me nā wahi e pili ana.
No ka mea, he wahi liʻiliʻi kēia o Monaco, he mea maʻalahi ke hele a puni ke kūlanakauhale. ʻOʻoe inā he kao wahine kao. ʻOiaʻiʻo, he maʻalahi ka hoʻokeleʻana iā Monte Carlo a me Monaco ināʻoe e hoʻoholo i ka manawa e aʻo ai i kahi o nā "pōkole". Hiki i nā luna kuʻikuhi aʻaʻa paha e hele i kaʻaha'āina e loaʻa i nā palapala'āina eʻike i nā tunnels, nā kiʻekiʻena, a me nā pale pale e hoʻonāukikaʻi ana i ke kūlanakauhale.
Ponoʻoe e loaʻa kahi ma mua o kou heleʻana i uka.
Inā heleʻoe i kaʻaoʻao komohana o ke awa, aia kahi elevator e lawe iāʻoe i Monaco-Ville a waihoʻoe iāʻoe kokoke i ka Musee Oceanographie ('Oceanographic Museum). Pono kēia e nānā inā loaʻa iāʻoe ka manawa. ʻO iaʻo Jacques Cousteau ka mea hoʻokele o ka hale hōʻikeʻike no nā makahiki he 30, a he aquarium nui kāna e pili ana i ka moana a me ka Moana Pākīpika.
I kou heleʻana ma ke alaloa o St. Martin, e hele pūʻoe ma kekahiʻaoʻao o nā nani o ka pali-nani a hele aku i ke Kulaʻo Monaco. Ua kūkuluʻia kēia halepule i ka hopena o ke kenekulia 19 a ma kahi i male aiʻo Princess Grace lāuaʻo Prince Ranier. ʻO ia kahi kahi i kanuʻia aiʻo Grace a me ka nui o nā kānaka'ē aʻe o Grimaldis. ʻO kona luakupapau kaʻoluʻolu loa, a ua aloha nuiʻiaʻo ia e nā moku.
Aia ka Palais du Prince (Prince Palace) ma Monaco-Ville a he mea pono nō hoʻi eʻike.
Ua noho aliʻi kaʻohana Grimaldi mai ka hale aliʻi mai 1297. Inā lele ka hae ma luna o ka hale aliʻi,ʻikeʻoe ke noho nei ke Aliʻi. Aia nā keiki Grimaldi i ko lākou mau hale iho i Monaco. Hiki ke hoʻololi i ka kiaʻi i kēlā me kēia lā i ka 11:55 am, no laila e makemakeʻoe e hele i kou huakaʻi no ia manawa.
Aia nā helehelena alakaʻi o ka hale aliʻi i kēlā me kēia lā mai 9:30 a 12:30 a 2:00 a hiki i 6:30.
ʻOiaiʻoe e noho ana ma ka puʻu kokoke i ka hale aliʻi, e hoʻomanaʻo i ka manawa e hele ai a nānā i nā kahawai ma kēlāʻaoʻao kēiaʻaoʻao. He kupanaha ka manaʻo!
Inā haʻaleleʻoe i ke awa a hele i ka hikina, e heleʻoe i kahi Casino De Paris kaulana. ʻAʻole kahi wīwī iki, ke kiʻekiʻena, a me ke kaʻa pale kaʻa. Inā makemakeʻoe e hele i ka Casino Nui, ponoʻoe e komo i kāu passport. ʻAʻole iʻaeʻia nā kālā e pili pāʻani i kā lākou mau pahu pono'ī, a ua kākauʻia nā passport e hoʻokō i kēia kānāwai. Loaʻa nā kapu komo komo i ka Casino nui. Pono nā kāne e komo i ke kapa komo a me ke kāʻei, a me nā kāmaʻa wāwae he verboten. Ua hoʻolālāʻia ka Casino e Charles Garnier, ka mea kākau o ka HaleʻOpera Opera. ʻOiai ināʻaʻoleʻoe he mea pāʻani, ponoʻoe e hele i loko eʻike i nā nani frescoes a me nā bas-reliefs. Hiki keʻikeʻia nā mea he nui mai ke keʻena mai o ka casino me kaʻole e uku i ka uku komo. ʻO nā lumi pāʻani ka nani, me nā kīʻaha pīpī, nā kiʻi, a me nā kiʻi kiʻi ma nā wahi āpau. Hana i nā mīkini lumi nānā i kahi liʻiliʻi ma waho o kahi! ʻElua'ē aʻe mau casinos Americanized ma Monte Carlo. ʻAʻole kekahi o kēia mau mea i komo i ke kālā hoʻokomo, a uaʻoi aku ka nui o ka papa lole.
Ināʻoe e hoʻolālā e nānā i nā kumukūʻai o nā hokele a me nā haleʻai i Monaco, e hauʻoli auaneʻiʻoe e holo anaʻoe i kahi moku holo moana. ʻO ka Hotel de Paris, kokoke i ka Casino nui, he mau haleʻahaʻaina maikaʻi loa. Hiki iāʻoe ke holo i kekahi o ka "waiwai a kaulana" inā kohoʻoe eʻai ma ka Louis XV Restaurant a Le Le Grill de L'Hotel de Paris ma laila. Ināʻoluʻoluʻoe i ka makemake e hoʻohui,ʻo kahi o Cafe de Paris kahi kūpono e kū ai a hoʻopiʻi i kahi pōʻai pō o ka pō. Hiki iāʻoe ke nānā i ka hana a me nā kānaka e hele i loko a ma waho o ka Casino.
ʻAʻole i like kaʻokoʻa ma Monte Carlo aʻano kūikawā e like me nā makahiki i hala. He nui nā mea hoʻolaha i kēia manawa ke kūʻai aku nei ma nā United States. Loaʻa ka manaʻo nui o nā inoa kiʻekiʻe i keʻano ma Monaco, e like me ka mea e manaʻo aiʻoe, hāʻawiʻia keʻano waiwai maʻamau. Mai kahi Avenue o nā Beaux-Arts ma waena o Place of Casino a me ka Square Beaumarchais kekahi wahi.
Aia kekahi ma lalo o ka Hotel Metropole. E hauʻoli ka hapanui i ka helehelena i ka wahi a me ka hale kūʻai puka, ināʻaʻoleʻoe e kūʻai i kekahi mea. ʻO nā hola kūʻai maʻamau mai 9:00 a hiki i ke awakea a 3:00 a 7:00 pm.
Ma hope o kāu mākaʻikaʻiʻana iā Monaco, he nani nā'ōpū o Monte Carlo ma ka Cote d'Azur. Inā hiki iāʻoe ke hoʻohaehae iāʻoe iho mai ka glitz a me ke kani o Monte Carlo, hoʻokaʻawale i ka manawa eʻike i kekahi o nā kauhale a me nā kauhale ma ka Farani a iʻole ka'Ikalia Niera e like me Eze .
