Kaulana ʻo Victoria no kāna mau hana waho a kokoke i ke ʻano, a makemake nā kamaʻāina i ka hana a puni ke kūlanakauhale. Ua maʻalahi ʻo Victoria iā ʻoe e nānā i kou olakino kino a me kāu ʻike moʻomeheu. E hoʻomau i ka heluhelu ʻana no ʻelima mau ala leʻaleʻa e hoʻomaʻamaʻa ma Victoria!
ʻO ka nūhou maikaʻi loa hiki iā ʻoe ke hana i kēia mau hana i kēia manawa, i ka wā maʻi maʻi COVID-19 - e hoʻomanaʻo wale e mālama i kou mamao kino!
1. Kaʻikala i ka holomua
ʻO Victoria kekahi o nā kūlanakauhale aloha paikikala loa o Kanada. I nā makahiki i hala iho nei, ua kūkulu ʻo Victoria i kahi ʻoihana o nā ala kaʻa kaʻa i pale ʻia. ʻO ia ke ʻano o nā ala kaʻa kaʻa e hahai ana i nā alanui nui o ke kūlanakauhale, akā pale ʻia lākou mai nā kaʻa e nā pale paʻa.
ʻO ka mea maikaʻi loa, inā he kaʻa kaʻa hoʻomaka ʻoe, he ʻuenaena paikikala "AAA" kēia. ʻO AAA ke kū nei no "All Ages and Abilities", ʻo ia hoʻi, ʻoluʻolu nā mea a pau e hiki ke holo i ke kaʻa kaʻa ma kēia mau ala kaʻa. He ala maikaʻi loa ka hoʻohana ʻana i kēia pūnaewele paikikala e hoʻomaʻamaʻa a ʻike i ke kumu o ke kūlanakauhale.
No ka poʻe kaʻa kaʻa i makemake i kahi paʻakikī, nui nā ala paikikala ʻē aʻe i loaʻa. ʻO ke ala paikikala kaulana loa ʻo ia ka Galloping Goose Regional Trail, a i ʻole ka Goose no ka pōkole. He 55km ka lōʻihi mai Victoria a hiki i ka ʻāina kokoke o Sooke.
ʻOiai e holo ana ka Goose i ka hikina a me ke komohana, holo ka Lochside Trail i ka ʻākau a me ka hema ma waena o Victoria a me ke kūlanakauhale ʻo Sidney. (Hele maoli ia a hiki i ke kahua moku, kahi e hiki ai i ka poʻe kaʻa kaʻa ke holo i Wanekoua).
ʻO ka hope, loaʻa iā mākou ka E&N Rail Trail. ʻOiai ʻaʻole i pau kēia ala, ua mākaukau kekahi ʻāpana nui o ke ala no ka poʻe holo. Kaʻana like ia i kahi ʻāpana me nā alanui Goose a me ke kūlanakauhale, e maʻalahi i nā kaʻa kaʻa e hoʻopau i ka holo. Ke hoʻopau ʻia, ʻo ka E&N Rail Trail ka lōʻihi o 17km.
* He mea nui e hoʻomaopopo ʻaʻole paʻa ʻia nā ʻāpana a pau o ka Galloping Goose, ka Lochside Trail, a me ka E&N Rail Trail. ʻO ka hapa nui o ka Lochside Trail a me ka E&N Rail Trail ua paʻi ʻia, akā ʻoi aku ma mua o ka hapalua o ka Galloping Goose he ʻiliʻili ma kahi o ke kahua.
2. Holo a puni Victoria
No kekahi o mākou, ʻaʻole hoihoi like ka hele ʻana i ka hale haʻuki e like me ka hoʻoikaika kino ma waho. Inā makemake ʻoe i ka makani ma kou lauoho, ka ea hou i loko o kou māmā, a me kahi mākaʻikaʻi nani, eia kekahi o kāu mau koho holo maikaʻi loa ma Victoria a puni.
Alanui Dallas ʻo ia kekahi o nā wahi holo kaulana loa ma Victoria. ʻO kēia ala paʻa he 6km ma hope o ka wai a ua kūkulu ʻia ma ka ʻāina paʻa, no laila he ala maʻalahi ia e hoʻomaka ai e holo ma kahi maikaʻi. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hele i ke alanui Dallas ma ke kaʻa kaʻa, kaʻa, a kaʻa paha. Inā makemake ʻoe e hoʻolōʻihi i kāu holo, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻomau ma nā wahi kokoke a hoʻihoʻi i ke kaona ʻo Victoria. Mahalo nui ʻia ke alanui ʻo Dallas i kāna paka ʻīlio a maʻalahi ke komo i kahakai. A inā hiki ʻoe i ke ala a hiki i Clover Point (kahi loop ma ka hopena o ke alanui Dallas), hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike pinepine i ka poʻe e lele lele ana, he heʻe nalu, a me ka paragliding.
ʻO kekahi ala nani e holo ai ma Victoria ʻo ia ka Westsong Walkway. Ke alakaʻi nei kēia ala i nā kukini ma ke kahakai o ʻO Victoria West / Esquimalt wahi. Hoʻomaka ia i ke kaona kokoke i ke alahaka ʻo Johnson Street a hele i ke komohana no 5km. Hiki iā ʻoe ke holo a holo i kēia ala a hoʻi ma ke kaʻaahi a i ʻole e hana i kahi huakaʻi 10km ma ka holo ʻana i kou wahi hoʻomaka.
No ka holo nui ma ke ʻano, paipai mākou e hele i Elk Lake / Beaver Lake. ʻO kēia nā loko liʻiliʻi ʻelua ma ka ʻākau o Victoria a ʻo ke ala a puni lākou ma kahi o 10km ka nui. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻomaha no ka hoʻomaha ma kekahi o nā paka a puni nā loko, a hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻopaʻa i kahi pīniki inā makemake ʻoe e hoʻolilo i ka lā ma laila.
He nui nā wahi maikaʻi o Victoria no ka poʻe kukini a me ka poʻe joggers, no laila, mai hilahila e makaʻala i kēia wahi a hoʻāʻo i nā ala hou. No nā manaʻo hou aku e pili ana i ka holo ʻana ma Victoria, e nānā i nā manaʻo a Tourism Victoria no nā holo nui ʻē aʻe ma ke kūlanakauhale.
3. He lani hele wāwae
Hauʻoli ka poʻe holoholo! ʻO Victoria kahi kūpono e hele ai i waho a ʻike i ka mokupuni ʻo Vancouver nani. ʻO kaʻoiaʻiʻo, he nui wale nā koho e hoʻopaʻa inoa ma aneʻi, akā paʻakikī kekahi o nā wahi maikaʻi loa inā ʻaʻohe kaʻa. (Aia kekahi mau wahi i hiki ole ke hele na kaa kaa.) No laila, e hoʻomaka kākou me nā huakaʻi hele maʻalahi me nā kaʻa kaʻa lehulehu.
E like me ka hele maʻalahi, Waiwai ʻo Thetis (ma Langford, kahi kaiāulu kokoke) he wahi maikaʻi loa ia e launa pū me ke ʻano a hoʻoikaika pū kekahi. He wahi huakaʻi kaulana ʻo Thetis Lake a hiki ke hele ma ke kaʻa. Aia kahi ʻupena alahele liʻiliʻi e hele a puni ka loko a i loko o nā puʻu a puni. ʻO kekahi mau wahi hoʻomaha e hiki ai i ka poʻe hele wāwae ke hoʻomaha no ka ʻai ʻai a hauʻoli i ka ʻike. Inā ʻo kou manawa mua kēia, e noho ma ke ala ma ka ʻaoʻao o ka loko i ʻole ʻoe e nalowale. Manaʻo nui mākou i kēia ala ma ke ʻano he hoʻomaka i ka hele wāwae ma ka mokupuni ʻo Vancouver.
ʻO ka mauna Douglas paha kekahi o nā huakaʻi kaulana loa ma Victoria. ʻO "Mount Doug" kahi piʻi waena, no laila makemake ʻoe e loaʻa nā kāmaʻa kūpono no kēia. ʻOiai he 4km wale nō ka lōʻihi o ke ala, he 1.5 mau hola ka piʻi ʻana i ka mauna a hoʻi i lalo. He mea maʻalahi loa ka hele ʻana ma ʻaneʻi ma ke kaʻa kaʻa, a inā ʻoe e piʻi i lalo i ke alanui Cordova Bay, hiki iā ʻoe ke hele pololei i kahakai no nā kiʻi hoʻolauleʻa ke pau ʻoe. E nānā i kēia loulou no kahi palapala ʻāina a me nā kuhikuhi ma ke kaʻa.
Inā makemake ʻoe e ʻike maoli i ka nani o ke ʻano o ka mokupuni ʻo Vancouver, ʻo ia ka manawa e kipa aku ai i Goldstream Provincial Park! Maʻaneʻi, hiki iāʻoe keʻike i kekahi mau hikes weliweli. Aia kekahi mau mea maʻalahi Wailele ʻo Goldstream Falls a me kā mākou mea liʻiliʻi Niagara Falls. ʻO nā mea paʻakikī Mauna Finlayson, ka Alaahi Trestle, A me ka Alanui Kona Gula. Inā hele ʻoe i Goldstream Park ma ke kaʻa kaʻa lehulehu, makemake ʻoe e nānā i kahi e kū ai nā kaʻa. Hiki ke hele ma ke kaʻa kaʻa kaʻa hele ʻana e hoʻomaka ana ma ke kahua hoʻomoana o Goldstream (Upper Goldstream Falls a me Gold Mine Trail, akā ʻaʻole nā mea ʻē aʻe. Hiki nō ke hele iā lākou, akā makemake ʻoe e mālama i kou ikaika no ka hele wāwae ʻana i kēia mau ala kupaianaha.
4. Alakai ʻana ʻaneʻi, kayak ma laila, kayak ma nā wahi a pau!
E noʻonoʻo i ka makani ma kou lauoho, ka lā ma kou alo, a me ke kani o ka wai a puni ʻoe. ʻO ka hiʻohiʻona kayak o Victoria kahi kūpono loa no ka poʻe kayak hoʻomaka a me ka ʻike. Mai nā haʻawina a hiki i nā huakaʻi alakaʻi a me nā ʻike hoe hoʻokahi, ʻo Victoria ka moeʻuhane o ka kayak.
No ka mea kayak mua, paipai mākou iā ʻoe e lawe i kekahi mau haʻawina a ʻoluʻolu ʻoe i ka wai. (ʻO nā haʻawina maʻamau pū kekahi me nā mea hoʻolimalima.) Ma kēia mau haʻawina, e aʻo ʻoe e pili ana i ka palekana i ka wai, nā ʻenehana hoe, a me ka hoʻokele hoʻomaka. He hana maʻalahi loa ke aʻo ʻana i ka kayak, no laila ke aʻo ʻia ʻoe i nā kumu, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻolimalima i nā lako a hele i waho no ka hoe leʻaleʻa.
No nā poʻe kayaker ʻoi aku ka ʻike ma mua o ka wai, hāʻawi mau nā hui i nā ʻano mea hoʻolimalima like ʻole a me nā huakaʻi alakaʻi a puni ka wahi.
Check TripAdvisor no nā haʻawina a me nā ʻōlelo hoʻolimalima. Hiki ke hōʻemi ʻia nā hola, akā ua wehe mau nā hui kūloko no nā hoʻolimalima a me nā haʻawina!
Mea nui! Ke kaʻa ʻole ʻoe me ke alakaʻi ʻole a kumu, pono ʻoe e aʻo i nā lula o ka wai. ʻO ke awa o loko o Victoria he mea ikaika loa me nā waʻa kūʻokoʻa, nā mea kiaʻi koholā, a me nā mokulele moana, no laila pono ʻoe e ʻike pehea e hele maluhia ai. E nānā i kēia loulou no ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo palekana a me nā ʻike koʻikoʻi ʻē aʻe e pili ana i ke kahe wai o Victoria.
5. E ʻōlelo ʻae iā yoga!
Inā ua noʻonoʻo ʻoe e hoʻāʻo i ka yoga, ʻo kou manawa nui kēia! Hoʻopiha ʻia ʻo Victoria me nā studio yoga, ʻoi aku hoʻi ma ke kaona, a ʻo ia kekahi o nā hana kaulana loa no ka noʻonoʻo a me ke kino o ke kaona.
ʻOiai ua pani ʻia nā keʻena yoga āpau ma muli o nā kaohi COVID-19, nui ka poʻe e hoʻomaka e wehe lohi i ka lā 1 Iune.
E ʻike ʻoe i nā ʻano yoga like ʻole ma Victoria, me Ashtanga, Iyengar, Bikram, a me Yin. Hāʻawi ka hapa nui o nā studio yoga i kahi papa hoʻāʻo manuahi i hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i ka lewa, aʻo e pili ana i nā ʻano, a nīnau i nā nīnau. Hāʻawi pū lākou i nā papa kūikawā no nā haumāna hoʻomaka, waena, a me nā haumāna kiʻekiʻe. Hāʻawi pū kekahi i nā papa ʻohana a me nā papa pae āpau. Nui nā koho kupaianaha i kūpono i nā pono a me nā hiki o kēlā me kēia kanaka.
Aia kekahi mau koho maikaʻi no nā studio yoga Iyengar Yoga Center, MokSana Yoga Center, a Hema.
Aia ʻo Iyengar a me MokSana ma ka puʻu o ke kaona ʻo Victoria, ma kahi mamao o Global Village, a hāʻawi i nā papa i ka lā a me nā hopena pule. He studio liʻiliʻi ka nui o ke kaiāulu ʻo Hemma, akā ke hana nei ia ma kahi wahi noho mālie, loaʻa nā hale nani, a hāʻawi i nā lawelawe olakino hou e like me ka acupuncture.
Inā he hoʻomaka ʻoe i ka yoga, e hōʻoia ʻoe e haʻi aku i kāu kumu aʻo i nā pilikia kino āu i loaʻa ai, ʻoiai inā e loaʻa ana ʻoe i kahi ʻeha hou a i ʻole ka maʻi mau. E ʻike ke kumu aʻo maikaʻi pehea e hoʻoponopono ai i kāu hoʻomaʻamaʻa e hoʻokō i nā pilikia a i ʻole nā pilikia.
Me kēia mau koho a pau, ʻaʻole ʻoe e pilikia i ka ʻimi ʻana i nā ala e noho ikaika ai a leʻaleʻa ma Victoria! E hoʻomanaʻo wale i ka noʻonoʻo ʻana i kou hele kino e mālama palekana a olakino!
Nuhou maikaʻi! Ke hoʻomaka nei nā hale kūʻai a pau e wehe hou. Huli aku kahi e hiki ai ke hoʻopau i kāu kūʻai ʻana ma ʻaneʻi.
Pīhoihoi e pili ana i kā mākou kula? E nānā i ka Global Village Victoria's ʻike laulā palapala.
