DANCES WITH THE VOLCANO.
DANCES WITH THE VOLCANO.
When he calls to Moscow and we stir minutes edak five, hardly
The audible spirit of ocean trade winds appears through a membrane of phone and
Then I still for a long time do not notice some slush behind a window.
Sir Vojtek Dzharnot lives in the middle of Pacific ocean on most
The present Hawaiian Islands. Though why the sir? Half the Pole,
On another - the Frenchman, the citizen of the USA. The tireless researcher
Polynesian culture and... Female forms.
Phone is silent. Probably, zaplutal mister Dzharnot somewhere
Among atolls, volcanoes and falls...
- Aloha, privettski! - I hear at last a voice from other end
Light. The accent is inimitable. - excuse, that did not call. Was on
Island Maui. You know, have met the woman, at it... The such
tsytski!.
About, Hawaii! Music constantly rushes into conversation and female
Laughter: "Let there comes this Russian..." - it is badly audible, - shouts
It. - at us in Honolulu a carnival.
You have forgotten "Aloha Frajdej"? I will be better to call later. O-kej?
I have forgotten. Today Friday and on the Hawaiian customs it is necessary as
It is necessary to have a rest before days off.
- O-kej, - I sigh and I put a tube.
Behind a window... Yes lines with it, with a window. Better to close more densely
Jalousie.
Almost all ways to Polynesia - to Tahiti and Hawaii - lie
Through Los Angeles.
"Boeing", rhythmically humming - not to smoke, not to smoke, not to smoke, -
Bore me in Honolulu. I silently used foul language, recollecting the madman
City of Angels, capital of world cinema and struggle against nicotine. In
The general, chain smokers will understand my mood after the arrival in 50
j state of America, or as Hawaiians name him, Aloha Stejt.
By the way, "aloha" on-gavajski - both "hi", and "see you",
And it is a lot of that else depending on intonation.
* * * ... Our acquaintance. He has grown as if from under the earth, when
I stood at a luggage tape. Crutches, tsvetastaja a shirt, a beard. For
Full similarity to John Silver did not suffice a parrot.
- Vojtek, - it was presented, having lassoed my neck by a wreath from
Orchids, also has there and then added: - We need to hurry up more likely...
We almost ran to parking place. And it with the crutches
Moved much faster. My suitcases slid behind it,
As if the magnetised. Having looked back, he has nodded on the plastered
Foot (on plaster dangled dexterously pritorochennyj a mobile phone) and
Has explained:
- Went for a drive on mountain skiing in Colorado.
- Where we so hurry? - I have taken an interest choking.
- Today you necessarily should see a sunset on
Hawaii, - it has uttered such tone as if in bank me waited
One million, and bank was closed in five minutes for ever... However,
It already skipped further.
We have driven in a hotel arch "Rojal Klif" and have settled down in a bar,
Near to coast. White crests of waves surrounded with a huge arch
The well-known Vajkiki-scourge.
"And after all it also is a surf kanaka", - I have recollected Jack Londona.
But there, it is far behind a surf, the ocean breathed a full breast and
Absorbed in itself huge papajju - the sun, ripe mjagkotju
Spread on horizon.
The orange haze gradually sank in water. Any wizard
Has lighted torches, and their flame danced on a wind. An aroma of flowers and sounds
The Hawaiian guitar have conceived obviously narcotic action. I have thawed,
Has become soft in a wicker chair and at last has easy lighted.
All this time Vojtek attentively observed of me and smiled.
- Now you should sleep, - he at last has told. - tomorrow
In the morning we will go round island.
* * * ... Usually our conversations carried purely informative
Character. It looked approximately so: two bearded pirates go
On "Cadillac" (mister Dzharnot collects this stamp
Cars). Crutches Behind rattle.
- Strange sound, - I notice. - to see, not simple crutches.
Any precious alloy?
- It at all crutches, - responds it seriously. - them did on
The order in Russia such master - Kalashnikoff. You understand?
- Tell, and the truth, your local have eaten captain Cook or it
Fairy tales?
- You can not doubt. Have eaten also Cook, and many other things... -
Here it unexpectedly interrupts. - look, as this is called
Village.
I do not believe eyes! If to translate under letters, it will turn out: Hui
Willow.
- Earlier there was not a Willow, and Ivan, - explains Vojtek. - Last
The letter have cleaned, that Russian did not take offence...
- And what here to take offence? From a song of a word you will not throw out. Better
Monument would erect, than the letter to clean... But tell seriously, from
Russia it is a lot of tourists?
- No, basically Russian from America. Yours too sometimes
Come. Rejoice: "Hawaii, such beautiful and convenient country,
Even our Russian dollars should not be changed ".
* * * In hotel Americans name me "krejzi". I rise early
In the morning, I come back zatemno, hardly shuffling the feet.
- You have not a rest, it is wrong, - my neighbours speak.
To have a rest in their understanding - all day long to press through
Body a plank bed on Vajkiki, occasionally interrupting on a fast food. And
In the evening - restaurant or jazz cafe in Honolulu.
We with Vojtekom travel about on islands. We fly on Big-Ajlend,
Kavaj, Maui. The goat tracks we go down in craters of volcanoes,
We make the way through jungle to falls.
On Hawaii there are unique places. Somehow I have removed on video
Crater from which the rainbow grew. In mountains the rain drizzled, and
Through it beat the sun. And rainbows blossomed one for another
In tens.
Perhaps, anywhere I did not see such variety of landscapes.
Woods tropical, coniferous, evkaliptovye. Beaches from the white
Sand, black, red, emerald. Be not surprised,
Volcanic breeds of every possible colours turn to the small
The crumb is formed also by beaches of fantastic shades.
Once on a black beach from water the turtle has crept out in size with
The calf also has stood at most my feet.
- What from it? - I really was frightened. There was an impression,
That the turtle has died for a second. I have touched an armour, then to
To wrinkled head. The turtle laid, having closed eyes, and not
Moved.
- Do not touch it, - has advised Vojtek. - She simply sleeps.
They fall asleep instantly. One Polish chukundur...
- What means chukundur?
- He/she is the tourist... The Tourist who badly thinks. Well here, one
Polish chukundur has saddled somehow a turtle and began to turn out to it
Head that it carried it in ocean, and it floated there on it. But
She slept. Then it has rested a foot against an armour and pulled it for lasty.
Hawaiians wished to call police, but have then thought and naveshali
To it... How it in Russian?
I with pleasure have prompted. Vojtek has distinctly repeated
Some times also has remembered.
- In general to go for a drive on a turtle at ocean dangerously. At it big
Speed. Will drag away on depth, and you at all will not notice, how you
Will crush water... Tell, you had sometime sex in water?
- With a turtle?
Then I have not very much got used yet to similar transitions from one subject
To another. Mister Dzharnot knows seven languages, including Chinese,
Names of two and a half thousand Hawaiian plants, advises
Large scientists, but the immemorial subject excites him more than a question
Migrations of Polynesian natives. He had sex even in
The plane. Five times. But unless you will discuss it with the American
Tourists on Vajkiki. "It is wrong, - they will tell.
- To do sex it is necessary in a bed! ".
* * * By the way, about "krejzi". In one perfect morning Vojtek
Has warned me, that we fly on Big-Ajlend.
- The lava left an underground pipe and moves directly on highway
(Volcanoes on this island do not cool down never. - the Bus). With us
The American flies, wishes to make beautiful pictures.
When we have arrived on a place, the lava has already stopped, but fire still
Licked roadside palm trees. Blew as heat already metres for hundred.
The American, not having found out round tablets with type instructions
It "is forbidden", "Cautiously", "it is dangerous to a life", has carefree moved
Forward.
I do not know, how left, but all have noticed it, when it with enthusiasm
Clicked a soap tray already in fifty metres from a cordon! To shout was
It is useless - all sounds sank in tarahtene the helicopter. And there and then
Has followed wild "brejk dens". The heated asphalt has fused
Soles krossovok the unfortunate photographer. It also is glad to escape, yes asphalt
Holds, as "lipuchka" a fly. Our fellow traveller, when was released
obuvka has burnt through to heels. With burns of both its foot at once
Transported in hospital...
* * * - Here the brig "Tadeush", - we has moored once
With Vojtekom we sit on velvet sand the Kai-lua-scourge, a beach, which
Years it is considered ten the most beautiful in the world successively. Is was
The first ship on Hawaii with missionaries. They have entered at once weight
Interdictions - on royal sports, surfing, on dance "abuse". You
Saw "abuse"?
- When women twist back?
- About, it is perfect dance, - it goes into eyes to the sky. -
Female popka it is turned, as tops of our palm trees when those play
With a wind... By the way, dzhazistka last night winked at you. It
Wants you.
I recollect the black singer with a tremendous voice and
Immense dimensions. I shrug shoulders:
- I like your secretary Ivetta.
- But it absolutely the girl, - is frightened Vojtek.
- Well also what? I have invited her today in hotel.
- And it?
- She has told yes, I was supposedly bothered with this old Polish
The maniac...
I jump from a place and run on white sand like mad. It
Waves crutches and I cover me with all words, which it
Has learnt...
Somehow he has called me at night.
- You know, - I hear through a dream, - yesterday I flied to Maui.
There was very good weather. I have risen above an observatory. It
There, where you danced over clouds. Air was such pure, that I
Saw Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea directly on a palm. Both volcanoes nearby.
It so is beautiful, as...
- Two tsytski! - not having sustained, I laugh.
- Whence you have learnt? - He sincerely is surprised.
- To me has just dreamt...
