The Third corner of the Polynesian triangle far to the east. What was this small community? Was it 3-4,000 meters tall volcanoes like Samoa and others in the great triangle that THE Pacific poses? A third of the world\u00b4s surface. Is it an atoll, which is just rung on the sea surface, as apple rings in a fondue pot, or was it something in between? 30,000 islands are scattered if the other two groups of Melanesian and Micronesia are included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I could easily imagine an atoll group, as my imagination has whirled around Suvarov for more than fifty years, the atoll, where the Frisbie family lived, father and four children, of whom, the daughter &#8220;Cowboy&#8221; has written the most beautiful books as an example: The Friesbies Of The South Seas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The New Zealander, Tom Neal (An island for Myself), later lived there over three laps, as an eremite on Suvarov. Tom lived quite like Robinson Crusoe and was almost angry when sailors a rare time did the land walk and disturbed his life. I have myself in Apia met the German Rollo, who with his Swedish friend Britta as the figure of Galion has been there. She was on a certain stretch with him but had to do nothing, so as not to get him out of routines on stretches, where he was alone. Rollo stayed the winter over in Durban, as everyone else does before he then stuck around the Cape of Good Hope and home to Switzerland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Would Easter Island, singular, be like Tahiti? No, it&#8217;s an island quite of its own. 4,000 km sea around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s it, just a few volcanic mounds. Just a single Sandy Bay in the north. A small village where the inhabitants of the island live a little simple the part of the year, in which tourism is low. All the compounds of the village are quite large, so one can have lots of hens i.e. eggs and chicken meat. All cargo is transhipped out in the Bay for an anchor. Only a single sailboat was seen at anchor far out. Not at all like Tahiti and the islands there. Four &#8211; five planes lands during the week on their way from Santiago in Chile 4,000 km, so on in two stretches of each also 4,000 km to Auckland in NZ via a few hours stop-over at Tahiti. Of course, also landing on the way back eastbound. The planes are a bit too big to be fully outside of peak seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the United States operated its shuttle spacecraft, a five-six-kilometer-long runway was constructed for a possible emergency landing of the returning space vessel on the southern hemisphere. Was never actual, but now the track goes from side to side right by the village. The island has a thousand TIKI lava figures, which today have been raised again. I went walking around on photo Safaris along the sea. The Island Cemetery is exciting, as imagination is unleashed and flower-blown beautifully. The cemetery also benefits from lying at the end of the village and a bit high. A very pleasant visit was to the Woodcutter <strong>Luis Tomas Pate Kirutoc<\/strong>, (which at the international level has exhibited at the Bishop Museum, Honolulu).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A two day stay on the island is relaxation for the soul, simply needing only to think of the 4,000 km of water everywhere, all around. An area is quite much larger than the whole of Europe. Quality of terror check on departure, I shall not describe in detail (the hollow as a mesh). My hostess with six rooms in her house, described the life and weather of the island as: either raining, or it is dry, either it blows or else it is quiet. I did not have rain, which, incidentally, applied to my entire<br>journey. The island&#8217;s population is half-old, half-newcomers from Chile, and its Museum does not have much to tell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a stopover on the road they probably 12,000 km New Zealand to South America, it was very much an experience, but as a separate destination, lacks nature and climate. Tourist beaches are<br>not there either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Et \u00f8je i himlen &#8211; P\u00e5ske \u00d8<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>5\u20137 november 2019<br>I l\u00f8bet af sommeren uden en b\u00e5d i havnen, havde mine tanker cirklet omkring P\u00e5ske\u00f8en. Det tredje hj\u00f8rne af den polynesiske trekant langt mod \u00f8st. Hvad var det lille f\u00e6llesskab? Var det 3-4000 meter h\u00f8je vulkaner som Samoa og andre i den store trekant, som Stillehavet udg\u00f8r? En tredjedel af verdens overflade. Er det en atoll, der bare er ringe p\u00e5 havets overflade, som \u00e6bleringe i en fondue pot, eller var det noget imellem? 30.000 \u00f8er ligger spredt, hvis de to andre grupper af Melanesian og Mikronesien er inkluderet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jeg kunne sagtens forestille mig en Atoll gruppe, da min fantasi har hvirvlet omkring Suvarov i mere end 50 \u00e5r, atollen, hvor familien Frisbie levede, far og fire b\u00f8rn, af hvem, datter &#8220;cowboy&#8221; har skrevet de smukkeste b\u00f8ger som et eksempel: Friesbies i sydhavene.<br>Den nye indvandrer, Tom Neal (Een \u00f8 for Myself), levede senere der over tre omgange, som eremit. Tom levede helt ligesom Robinson Crusoe og var n\u00e6sten vred, n\u00e5r sejlere en sj\u00e6lden gang gjorde landgang og forstyrrede hans liv. Jeg har selv i Apia m\u00f8dt den tyske Rollo, der med sin svenske veninde Britta som figuren Galion har v\u00e6ret der. Hun var p\u00e5 en vis str\u00e6kning med ham, men var n\u00f8dt til ikke at g\u00f8re noget, for ikke at f\u00e5 ham ud af rutiner p\u00e5 str\u00e6kninger, hvor han var alene. Rollo forblev vinteren over i Durban, som alle andre g\u00f8r, f\u00f8r han derefter stak omkring Kap GOOD hjem til Schweiz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ville P\u00e5ske\u00f8en, ental, v\u00e6re som Tahiti? Nej, det er en \u00f8 helt af sin egen. 4.000 km hav rundt. Det er det, bare et par vulkanske mounds. Bare en enkelt Sandy Bay i nord. En lille landsby, hvor \u00f8ens indbyggere lever lidt enkelt den del af \u00e5ret, hvor turismen er lav. Alle matrikler i landsbyen er ret store, s\u00e5 man kan have masser af h\u00f8ns i. e. \u00e6g og kylling k\u00f8d. Al last omlades i bugten for anker. Kun en enkelt sejlb\u00e5d blev set ankrende langt ud. Overhovedet ikke som Tahiti og \u00f8erne<br>der. Fire, fem fly lander i l\u00f8bet af ugen p\u00e5 vej fra Santiago i Chile 4.000 km v\u00e6k, s\u00e5 videre i to str\u00e6kninger af hver ogs\u00e5 4.000 km til Auckland i NZ via et par timer stop-over p\u00e5 Tahiti. Selvf\u00f8lgelig ogs\u00e5 landinger igen p\u00e5 vej tilbage \u00f8stbundet. Flyene er lidt for store til at v\u00e6re fulde uden for h\u00f8js\u00e6sonens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Da USA drev sin shuttle rumfart\u00f8j, blev en fem-seks kilometer lang landingsbane bygget til en mulig n\u00f8dlanding af et tilbagevendende rumfart\u00f8j p\u00e5 den sydlige halvkugle. Var aldrig aktuelt, men nu g\u00e5rbanen fra side til side lige ved landsbyen. \u00d8en har tusind TIKI lava figurer, som i dag er blevet rejst igen. Jeg gik rundt p\u00e5 foto Safaris langs havet. \u00d8ens kirkeg\u00e5rd er sp\u00e6ndende, da fantasien er sluppet l\u00f8s og blomster svajer smukt. Kirkeg\u00e5rden nyder ogs\u00e5 godt af at ligge i slutningen af landsbyen og lidt h\u00f8jt. Et meget behageligt bes\u00f8g var til woodcutter <strong>Luis Tomas Pate Kirutoc<\/strong>, (som p\u00e5 internationalt plan har udstillet p\u00e5 Bishop Museum, Honolulu).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>En to-dages ophold p\u00e5 \u00f8en er afslapning for sj\u00e6len, blot beh\u00f8ver kun at t\u00e6nke p\u00e5 de 4.000 km vand overalt, rundt omkring. Et omr\u00e5de, som er ret meget st\u00f8rre end hele Europa. Kvaliteten af terror kontrol ved afrejse, jeg shalle ikke beskrive i detaljer (den hollav som et mesh).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Min v\u00e6rtinde med seks v\u00e6relser i sit hus, beskrev liv og vejr p\u00e5 \u00f8en som: enten regner det, eller det er t\u00f8rt, enten bl\u00e6ser det eller er stille. Jeg havde ikke regn, som i \u00f8vrigt gjaldt hele min rejse. \u00d8ens befolkning er halv gammel, halvt nyankomne fra Chile, og dens Museum har ikke meget at fort\u00e6lle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Som en mellemlanding p\u00e5 vejen de 12.000 km New Zealand til Sydamerika, det var en fin oplevelse, men mangler som en separat destination, natur og klima. Turist strande er der heller ikke.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dansk tekst findes l\u00e6ngere nede i teksten. 5 \u2013 7-November 2019Throughout the summer without a boat in the harbor, my [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"default","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[100],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/itsmesvend.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6132"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/itsmesvend.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/itsmesvend.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itsmesvend.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itsmesvend.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6132"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/itsmesvend.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6132\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/itsmesvend.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6132"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itsmesvend.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6132"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itsmesvend.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6132"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
