Hoʻopili ke ao lepo i ka hale mahiʻai o ka mea lanakila ʻo Dakar. He one i ka neʻe ʻana mai ka lepo ma ka ʻāina ʻo Bagés a lilo i pua ocher i ka wā e hele ai ma ke kūlanakauhale ʻo Castellfullit del Boix, 426 mau kamaʻāina i hoʻopaʻa ʻia, he ala mauna ma ka panalāʻau o Barcelona ma lalo o hoʻokahi hola mai ka Ciudad Condal. ʻO ke ala ma ka hema o ke ala haiki e komo i ka waiwai i loaʻa i kekahi mau makahiki i hala e Nasser Al Attiyah, he sheikh e ke koko Arab e pili ana i ka ʻohana aliʻi o Qatar, he mea luku 'Olumepika ma London 2012 Games a, ma luna o nā mea a pau, nona ka ka waonahele eha manawa lanakila o ka Dakar. ʻO kāna mauna lanakila hou loa, he Toyota
ʻO Hilux i hoʻonani ʻia me nā kala o Red Bull, ua hōʻea i kāna mahiʻai ma ka ʻāina Sepania, kahi i loaʻa ai i ka mea hoʻokele ka hoʻomaha a me ka maluhia. Ke hoʻokipa nei ʻo Al Attiyah i kahi hoʻokipa aloha ma kona home a ma kāna kaʻa no kahi hui o nā mea nūpepa, me ABC.
Hāʻawi ka hale mahiʻai ʻo Al Attiyah i kahi ʻala nani, maikaʻi a momona. ʻO kahi hale pōhaku kahiko a me nā keʻena nui e hiki ke hoʻonohonoho i kahi hālāwai kūkā mini, kahi meaʻai a i ʻole kahi hālāwai me nā kaʻa ma ke ʻano he hoʻopaʻapaʻa. Hiki i nā ana o ka mahiʻai ke ala i ʻehiku mau kilomita ma waena o ka ululāʻau kokoke, kahi ala pōkole o kahi kokoke i ʻelua mau kilomita a he ala no ka poʻe hoʻomaka, me ka ʻole o nā undulations.
Aʻo nā mea a pau, me ka hōʻailona o ka hale, ka noho maoli o ka pilot sheikh i lanakila iā Dakars. Ke one, ka lepo, ka wao akua.
Ua ʻike ʻia ʻo Al Attiyah i loko o kāna hale kaʻa i hoʻololi ʻia i loko o kahi lumi paʻi me Isidre Esteve, ka mea hoʻokele Catalan, kahi hiʻohiʻona o ka makemake a me ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i lilo i paraplegic ma 2007, ua lawe ʻia ma ka noho huila a hoʻokele me kona mau lima. Hoʻokipa ʻo ia iā ʻoe i kāna mahiʻai a aloha aloha iā ʻoe. "Aia ʻoe i kou hale, mahalo iā vin".
Ka Qatari Keaukaha ua pakele mai ka unbearable wela o kona aina, 50 degere i ke kauwela, ka ea ea i piha blast a me ka aina o skyscrapers kokoke i ka 'corniche', Doha's promenade. Ua hoʻokomo ʻia ma Castellfullit del Boix. “Ua ʻimi au i wahi e kaʻana like me nā hoaaloha, ʻohana. He wahi hoʻomaha a hoʻomaha. ʻO kēia ka wahi kūpono loa, kokoke i Barcelona, hoʻopuni ʻia e ke ʻano, me ka hiki ke hoʻokele. Aloha au iā Sepania".
Ua kono ka sheikh i ka ʻaina awakea, Catalan costumbrismo, nā calçots i hoʻomoʻa ʻia ma ka grill me ka ʻōmato a me ke kālika ʻai, entrecote me ka ʻuala a me ka sausage a me ka holika Catalan. Ua ʻōlelo aku nā limahana Toyota. "E akahele i kāu ʻai ʻana, pono ʻoe e lilo i co-pilot no Nasser." ʻO ka manaʻo o ka pōʻino a i ʻole kekahi mea ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi e like me ka nausea a i ʻole nā mea like e kū mai ana ma ka lewa.
Hoʻolei ka mea hoʻokele kahiko he 51 makahiki i nā mea ʻai, nā calçots a me ka ʻaila. Makemake wale ʻo ia i ka ʻiʻo kālua. Hoʻohenehene ʻo ia me nā mea ʻaina a hōʻike i nā wikiō o kekahi o kāna mau hana. Ua mākaukau e hoʻokele.
"Makemake wau i ka hoʻokele, ma nā wahi āpau a me nā kūlana - wahi a ka protagonist -. He pilina maikaʻi koʻu me ka hale Toyota a manaʻo wau he ʻāpana o ko lākou ʻohana. Aia ma kona ʻaoʻao ʻo Matthieu Baumel, he pailota Pelekane e hele pū me ia ma nā wao nahele o ka honua. "ʻOi aku ma mua o ka co-pilot he kaikunāne," wahi āna.
Hōʻike ʻia ka lā e ka leʻaleʻa o nā kaʻa a me ke kahua, nā prototypes o ka brand e leʻaleʻa i nā mea komo. ʻO ka mea koʻikoʻi e noho ana ma ka ʻākau o ke kaʻa o Nasser Al Attiyah, he mole hoʻonani me nā huila stratospheric. 'A'ole ma'alahi ke komo i loko o ka Toyota Hilux, nona ka hale i'oi aku ka ho'omana'o o ka moku ma mua o ke ka'a. Ua hoʻololi ʻia ka hoʻolālā ergonomic i nā ʻano haiki o Matthieu, ka papa piha i nā kiʻi, nā ʻikepili a me nā kukui, ka legroom ākea a me ka huila māmā i hoʻopaʻa ʻia e ka mea lanakila ʻo Dakar.
“Makemake anei ʻoe i koʻu keʻena?” i nīnau ai ka helehelena ʻakaʻaka ʻeleʻele. Hoʻomaha ka pilote i ka manawa me nā mea hoʻoheneheneʻelua, i ka hoʻohuliʻana i ka huila a me ka moku e like me ka puna. ʻAʻole i loaʻa ka piko 90 degere mua no ka mea e kani ana. ʻO ka iho pololei ʻana i ʻehā mau ʻōpala mauʻu e pili ana i ka makaʻu hiki ke hoʻopaʻa ʻia. Hana ʻo ia i ʻekolu mau ʻanuʻu, me he mea lā e leʻaleʻa iā ia iho ma ka ʻaoʻao hema. Ua piʻi aʻe ʻo Nasser ma ka ʻāina pali, ʻelua mau paheʻe i iho i kahi lele makapō, kahi mākou i hauʻoli ai i ka hāʻule. ʻakaʻaka ka Sheikh, pāʻani me ka malihini a pae i ka huila mua hema. ʻO kahi "uauhhhh" hikiʻole ke ala mai, kahi hui o ka mahalo a me ka hopohopo. Kau inoa ʻo ia i ka haki e like me ka mea nāna e hoʻokele kaʻa kaʻa kaʻa keiki. Ua auwana ka Hilux ma ke kahua nui me ka nui o ka braking, slopes and accelerations i hoololi i ka manawa i mea kupua a nani. Hoʻopuka hou ka moʻolelo iā ia iho no nā kipa hou aʻe a hoʻololi hou ʻia ke ala ala mua no ko mākou manaʻo: hilinaʻi. Hana ke kanaka i kāna makemake me ke kaʻa. Nui ka ʻike.
Hoʻopuka hou ʻia ka ʻike kupaianaha me Isidre Esteve, kahi hiʻohiʻona o ke ola e like me ka affable a me ka noʻonoʻo. "Nanea ʻoe," ʻōlelo ʻo ia. Ke hele nei ʻoe ma ke kānana o Nasser Al Attiyah, hiki ke manaʻo ʻia kekahi hanana ʻē aʻe. ʻOi aku ka liʻiliʻi o Esteve i kāna hoʻokele ma mua o ka lanakila o Dakar a me ka leʻaleʻa.
"ʻO ka hoʻokele kaʻa kahi ala e hui pū ai nā kānaka. E pili ana i ka kaʻana like ʻana a me ka mahalo i ke ola i loaʻa iā mākou, "i hoʻopau ai ka sheikh a me ka noho pilote ma Catalonia.
