Sunning a me kaʻaina ma ke kahakai kaulanaʻo Trinidad
I loko o kahi mākaʻikaʻi houʻana i Carnival ma Trinidad ,ʻo kā mākou kaʻa - i kēia hihia i kahi kaʻa pahi-hoʻomaka - e hoʻomaka ana e hele i waho o ke kauwela o Port of Spain. Ma mua o ka lōʻihi, ua hoʻomakaʻia kekahi o nā wahi nani loa o ka Caribbean. Ua piʻi aʻe nā mauna a me ke kai i lalo i ko mākou hoʻomakaʻana i ko mākou piʻiʻana, a ua inu ko mākou waha i ka wai. I ko mākou heleʻana, ua mālamaʻia mākou i nā wahi hilinaʻi, kahi e hiki ai i nā huakaʻi ke huki i ko lākou kaʻa e kiʻi ai i kahi hoʻokipa kupanaha mai nā māla mauna a hiki i ke kai o ke kai Caribbean.
ʻO kēia mau mea, kahiʻoihana kaulana loa iʻikeʻia e kekahi poʻe e like me "Marcacas Lookout," i pāpāluaʻia e like me keʻano o ka "candy stand", o ka lawelaweʻana i kahi hana kūlike e like me ka mango mano me nā manamana, a me nā hua'ē aʻe mai kahi koho o nā mea kūʻai. maikaʻi loa e like me nā mea liʻiliʻi e like me nā bea a me ka iʻaʻula. Uaʻoluʻolu mākou i kā mākou "Trini maʻamau," akā, ma keʻano pono'ī, ua kūʻaiʻia wau ma ka niu niu i hanaʻia, mai ka'ō niu.
Ma hope o ko mākou kūʻana e hoʻopiha i kā mākou mau momona, hele mākou i ke ala. ʻO kā mākou huakaʻi, e pili ana i hoʻokahi hola mai Port of Spain,ʻo Maracas Beach , ka mea i kaulana loaʻo Trinidad a me nā mamao ma waena o nā kahakai one, a hiki i ke alahele mauna i kaʻaoʻaoʻo North Coast Road. Maanei, i ka mea i manaʻoʻia kekahi o nā kahakaiʻoi loa ma Trinidad, eʻike nā malihini i kona kūlana kaulana e kūʻai aku ana i kahi'oina maoli maoli: Shark and Bake (aiʻole Bake a me Shark a me Shark n Bake, inā makemakeʻoe).
He nui nāʻano likeʻole o ka inoa, akā, uaʻano like nā hopena -ʻo kahi o nā flakey, keʻokeʻo, ka pāpala, ka iʻa shark hohonu i'ōwiliʻia i loko o ka momona momona a hoʻoulu i nā haumāna o ka meaʻona i mea e hana ai i ke kaniʻoniʻoni - e like me nā manaʻo o ka leʻaleʻa lōʻihi - aʻo ia ka mea ma mua o ka hoʻokomoʻana i nā meaʻai, i ka wā e hoʻomaka ai nā mea e kāʻili.
ʻO ka baʻa a me ka pākoa kahi kīʻahaʻo Trinidadia, me ka "bake" kahi e pili pono ana i ka berena - "kuke" -ʻo ia he mānoanoa, ka palaoa i kāwiliʻia, hoʻohanaʻia e like me ka hua o lalo, a iʻole he kāpena no ka iʻa ma mua o kaʻeli (e hilinaʻi ana i ka mea hea āu e hoʻoholo ai e hele i).
Ma ko mākou huakaʻi hele, ua koho mākou iā Richard's Bake & Shark, ka mea wikiwiki e hana i nā mea'ūpopo momona a waihoʻia i kēlā me kēia kanaka e hoʻonui i kā lākou iho kāpili - i nāʻano lole, a me nā'ōmato, nā pepa, nā kukama a me nā paina pīpī.
Eia naʻe, hiki ke hoʻololi i ka condiments i kekahi manawa a hiki i nā kumukūʻai - i ka lā i loaʻa mākou i laila, he $ 8 pākīpī; i nā lā'ē aʻe, hiki ke kūʻaiʻia aku lākou no kahi $ 20. ʻAʻoleʻo kēlā kumukūʻai e kāohi ai iāʻoe mai ka ho'āʻoʻana i kēiaʻainaʻaina, akā e hoʻomākaukauʻoe i ka hoʻonuiʻana i ke kaʻina ināʻoʻoe e hele ana i kahi kālā.
Ma hope o kā mākouʻaiʻana, holoi mākou i kā mākouʻoihana i lalo me kekahiʻano Trinidad: nā ipu o Angostura's Lemon Lime & Bitters, he wai inuʻawa i hanaʻia e ka poʻe hana Angostura Bitters, he huila hūnā o Trini meaʻala.

E nānā i nā lālā a me nā hōʻikeʻo Trinidad
