Dookoła Wellington

Objechałem wczoraj nasze miasto, niemal tak dokładnie, jak się dało:

Zachodni odcinek trasy zaczyna się od ośmiokilometrowego, równomiernego zjazdu do Crofton Downs. Mimo, że jest to ruchliwa droga, pokonuje się ją szybko, nie jest to więc uciążliwe. Dalej, przez następne 3-4 km odrabiamy część wysokości, podjeżdżając do górnego Kelburn.

Widok na Kelburn, na horyzoncie Remutakas z Mt. Matthews.

Kelburn to jedna z najstarszych dzielnic, zielona i bardzo blisko centrum. Układem urbanistycznym przypomina nasze górskie uzdrowiska, jak Karpacz, czy Szklarską Porębę: kręte ulice i domy na zboczach tak stromych, że jeden koniec pokoju masz na poziomie ulicy, a drugi 5 metrów nad terenem. Gdy przyjechałem w lipcu zeszłego roku, bardzo byłem zainteresowany wynajęciem domu tam, ale nie było odpowiednich ofert.

Z Kelburn do Aro Valley szybko w dół, ostry zakręt i znowu wyryp do góry ku Brooklyn. Za to później już tylko długi, satysfakcjonujący zjazd przez Happy Valley do Owhiro Bay. Cieśnina Cooka z klifowym wybrzeżem Red Rocks przed nami. Na mapie na początku tekstu jest to miejsce oznaczone kółkiem "20".

Stąd zawracam i zaczynam drogę wzdłuż wybrzeża. Mam przed sobą ponad 40 km zupełnie płaskiej trasy, rarytas w Wellington niebywały.

W pobliżu lotniska akurat płynie do Picton Strait Feronia, prom na którym podróżowaliśmy w Boże Narodzenie.

Cieśnina Cooka jest wyjątkowo spokojna, trudno uwierzyć. Zimą i wiosną to się nie zdarza.

Najwięcej czasu spędziłem koło lotniska, a konkretnie południowego końca pasa startowego. WGN jest upchnięte na jedynym, poza ścisłym centrum, tak dużym płaskim kawałku; mimo tego brakło miejsca na strefę buforową wokół pasa i płot znajduje się tuż przy ulicy. Samoloty kołują niecałe 200 metrów od miejsca obserwacji, idealnie dla planespotterów. Nawet zwykłą komórką udało się zrobić całkiem niezłe zdjęcia.

Uwielbiam zapach kerozyny o poranku. Pachnie nieznanym.

Kangur mija się z paprocią.

Półwysep Miramar to bajka. Wciąż jesteśmy w mieście, ale jakby na wakacjach. Wschodnia strona to wlot Wellington Bay — pełno małych plaż i zatoczek. Po przejechaniu na zachodni brzeg — imponujący widok miasta i okalających wzgórz.

Ostatni odcinek to już jazda przez samo centrum, więc trasa jak co dzień, choć znacznie więcej ludzi. Akurat w ten weekend jest festiwal uliczny; reszta rodziny poszła go obczaić.

Impreza nazywa się CubaDupa, od zbitki słów: "Cuba Street" i zapewne "super-duper". Nie zmienia to faktu, że po polsku brzmi co najmniej równie intrygująco, zwłaszcza dla naszych najmłodszych, najwyraźniej napawających się faktem, że można legalnie powiedzieć "dupa":

Idziemy w sobotę na CubaDupa? Dasz mi parę dolców na Cuba DUPA? Czy będziemy mogli zjeść coś słodkiego na Cuba D-U-P-A? Czy zdążymy pograć na plejce jak wrócimy z CUBADUPA? CuBAduPA. CUbaDUpa. CuBaDuPa.

Festiwal niespecjalnie chce mi się opisywać. Nie przepadam za takimi wydarzeniami i moje wrażenia byłyby i tak negatywne, a nie chciałbym nikogo zniechęcać. Wbiłem się w tłum na chwilę, zaraz potem się z niego ulotniłem i pojechałem do domu.

Wellington Entertainment: A Kaleidoscope of Culture and Fun

On this weekend exactly one year ago, the BIG NAZO Intergalactic Creature Band was scheduled to perform at the incredible @cubadupa Fest in Wellington, New Zealand. The festival, which was to feature 1,500 acts, was postponed after the Ministry of Health banned all incoming flights and shut down public gatherings. CupaDupa did, however, host over 19 hours of programmed entertainment this year!

CubaDupa undeterred

Cubadupa is a carnival-style festival held annually in and around Wellington’s colourful Cuba St. This year it was curtailed, because it wasn’t possible to provide such large crowds with the level of security that was felt to be desirable since the recent outrage in Christchurch.

So they ‘took it inside’, using enclosed or indoor venues for the various events. I thought the parades were simply not supposed to happen, but as I stood waiting for the bus home, this lot spilled out of Te Aro park and engulfed the bus-stop. Then my bus arrived, so I didn’t see what happened next, and I’m not sure whether it was supposed to happen or not.

Dang. The BIG NAZO Intergalactic Creature Band would have been on a 26 hour flight to New Zealand tonight if it hadn't been for COVID-19. The incredible CubaDupa Festival in Wellington, NZ scheduled for March 28 & 29, was postponed after the Ministry of Health banned all incoming flights and shut down public gatherings. It would have been a massive event featuring 1500 performers. These promo images were used in the CubaDupa "Beautiful Interruption" ad campaign. (We're practicing social distancing now so that we can join the crowds next year) #bignazo #bignazointergalacticcreatureband #bignazolab #CubaDupa #newzealand #alienband #creatures #extraterrestrials @2venti2 #alieninvasion #coolgraphics #festivalposter #internationaltour https://www.instagram.com/p/B-Gluz6Htu_/?igshid=1j8ork15hlsah
