He lā maikaʻi loa ma Mechelen: itinerary a me nā hana i manaʻo ʻia

ʻO Mechelen, aia ma Belgium, he kūlanakauhale nani o ka wā kahiko i piha i ka mōʻaukala a me ka moʻomeheu. Inā ʻoe e ʻimi nei e hoʻolilo i kahi lā kūpono ma kēia kūlanakauhale, eia kahi huakaʻi a me nā hana i manaʻo ʻia e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke ʻike i ka maikaʻi o Mechelen.

I ke kakahiaka, e hoʻomaka i kou lā ma ka hele ʻana i ka Grand Place o Mechelen, i kapa ʻia ʻo Grote Markt. ʻO kēia huinahā ka puʻuwai o ke kūlanakauhale a ua hoʻopuni ʻia e nā hale mōʻaukala nani. E hoʻokaʻawale i ka manawa e mahalo ai i ka Hale Hōʻikeʻike, kahi hale Gothic maikaʻi loa mai ke kenekulia 14. Hiki iā ʻoe ke kipa i ka Tour Saint-Rombaut, e hāʻawi ana i kahi hiʻohiʻona panoramic o ke kūlanakauhale mai luna mai.

A laila, e hele i Saint-Rombaut Cathedral, kahi hale kiʻi kiʻi o Mechelen. Ua kaulana kēia hale pule Gothic no kona kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe a mālama i nā waiwai kiʻi he nui i loko. E kipa aku i ka Chapel of Saint-Rombaut, kahi e ʻike ai i ka hale kupapaʻu o Margaret o Austria, he mea nui i ka mōʻaukala Belgian.

Ma hope o ka ʻimi ʻana i ke kikowaena mōʻaukala o Mechelen, e hoʻomaha i ka ʻaina awakea ma kekahi o nā hale ʻaina he nui o ke kūlanakauhale. Hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻono i nā kīʻaha Belgian kuʻuna e like me ka mussels a me ka fries, stoemp (mashed potatoes and vegetables) a i ʻole nā ​​waffles.

I ke awakea, e hoʻomau i kāu ʻike ʻana iā Mechelen ma ka hele ʻana i ka Hale Hōʻikeʻike ʻo Hof van Busleyden. Aia kēia hale hōʻikeʻike i loko o kahi hale Renaissance a loaʻa i kahi hōʻiliʻili o nā hana noʻeau a me nā mea mōʻaukala e pili ana i ka mōʻaukala o ke kūlanakauhale. Hiki iā ʻoe ke aʻo hou e pili ana i ka mōʻaukala o Mechelen a me kāna kuleana ma ka moʻomeheu Flemish.

A laila, e kaʻahele ma nā kahawai o Mechelen. Aia ke kūlanakauhale e nā kahawai nani e hāʻawi ana i nā hiʻohiʻona nani o nā hale mōʻaukala. Hiki iā ʻoe ke lawe i ka moku holo moku e ʻike iā Mechelen ma kahi ʻano ʻokoʻa.

I ka pau ʻana o ka ʻauinalā, hele i ka māla lāʻau o Mechelen. ʻO kēia māla he puʻuhonua maoli o ka maluhia i loko o ka puʻuwai o ke kūlanakauhale. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hele wāwae ma waena o nā pua a me nā mea kanu exotic, a me ka leʻaleʻa i kahi manawa hoʻomaha ma kekahi o nā kihi malu o ka māla.

No ka hoʻopau ʻana i kēia lā maikaʻi loa ma Mechelen, mai poina i ka kipa ʻana i ka Hale Hōʻikeʻike ʻo Toy. Hōʻike kēia hale hōʻikeʻike i ka mōʻaukala o nā mea pāʻani i nā kenekulia a hōʻike i kahi hōʻiliʻili hoihoi o nā mea pāʻani kahiko. Inā he nostalgic paha ʻoe a ʻimi wale paha, e kāhāhā kēia hale hōʻikeʻike iā ʻoe.

I ka hopena, ʻo Mechelen kahi kūlanakauhale kūpono e ʻike ʻia i ka lā kipa. ʻO kona hoʻoilina mōʻaukala waiwai, nā hale hōʻikeʻike hoihoi a me nā canal nani e lilo ia i wahi kūpono no ka poʻe aloha moʻolelo a me ka moʻomeheu. E hahai i kēia ala a hauʻoli i kahi lā maikaʻi loa ma Mechelen.
