Ulendo wa maola 10 pamwamba pa thambo lalikulu la buluu la kum'mwera kwa nyanja ya Atlantic pamapeto pake unafika pamtunda.Ndikuyang'ana pampando wanga wazenera lakumanzere, kuchokera pa mapazi a 35,000, palibe kanthu koma chipululu chopanda kanthu cha Kumwera kwa Africa, momwe maso anga amawonera.
Anafika pa taxi pakati pa Cape Town, ndi kachikwama kakang'ono chabe.Zosiyana kwambiri ndi Latin America: Pafupifupi nyumba zambiri - ndi Ferraris, Maseratis, Bentleys - monga Beverly Hills.Komabe nthawi yomweyo, zigawenga zankhanza mumsewu zikubwera kwa ine ngati Zombies, ambiri atavala nsanza, pano kuchokera ku umphawi wa tauni iliyonse yapafupi.
Ili ndi dziko latsopano komanso lodabwitsa kwambiri.Njinga yamotoyo tsopano yasungidwa bwino m'galaja yanthawi yayitali ku Uruguay.Ndabwera kudzapalasa njinga ku Africa.
Mmodzi anafika ali m'katoni yaikulu, njira yonse kuchokera ku Boise.Frank Leone ndi gulu la George's Cycles anaika mitu yawo pamodzi.Anakambirana nawo zonse zomwe adakumana nazo pakupalasa njinga, zovuta zilizonse zapamsewu, ndikusonkhanitsa makinawa.Chilichonse chidasinthidwa bwino, kuphatikiza zida zophatikizika ndi zida zambiri zosinthira, monga masipoko, ulalo wa unyolo, tayala, chingwe chosinthira, sprockets, ndi zina zambiri.Kuyimba kulikonse tcheru, kuyesedwa ndi kuikidwa.
Usiku womaliza ku Cape Town, ku malo ogulitsira ku Ireland, mayi wina yemwe anali ndi Afro yamtundu wa beachball komanso nkhope yokongola adandigwira pamene amadutsa.Analowa ndikukhala pafupi ndi ine pa bala.Ndinamuuza kuti ndimugulire chakumwa ndipo anavomera.Kenako anatiuza kuti tisamukire patebulo ndipo tinatero.Tinakambirana mokoma;dzina lake ndi Khanyisa, amalankhula Chiafrikaans, chomwe ndi chofanana ndi Chidatchi koma pafupi ndi Flemish ya kumpoto kwa Belgium.Pamwamba pa izo, chinenero chachitatu, sindikukumbukira, chinali ndi mawu ambiri a "dinani", ndinaphunziranso mawu otemberera koma ndinaiwalanso.
Patatha pafupifupi ola limodzi, iye anapereka zina mwa ntchito za “ntchito yakale kwambiri.”Sindinafune, koma sindinkafunanso kumutaya, choncho ndinampatsa ndalama zowerengeka za Rand (ndalama za boma za ku South Africa) kuti apitirize kulankhula, ndipo anakakamizika.
Uwu unali mwayi wanga wofunsa mafunso, chilichonse chomwe ndimafuna kudziwa.Moyo ndi wosiyana kumbali imeneyo.Zovuta, kunena mofatsa.Mwa mafunso anga osalakwa, ndidafunsa ngati angakonde kukhala mzungu wosawoneka bwino kapena wokongola wakuda yemwe ali, kuno mdziko muno wokhala ndi mbiri yomvetsa chisoni ya tsankho.Yankho linafika mosavuta kwa iye.Ndizodziwikiratu kuti kusagwirizana kwachikoka kungakhale kowawa kwambiri kuposa zaka zambiri za nkhanza za atsamunda, ndi kusagwirizana kwachuma.
Anali woona mtima kwambiri komanso woyenera kulemekezedwa.Steely nayenso ankaoneka kuti saopa chilichonse kupatulapo kusowa ndalama zolipirira mwana wake kusukulu.Pamenepo pali chinachake choti ulingalire.
Anthu ambiri kuno, kuphatikizapo Khanyisa, amachita chidwi ndi maulendo anga.Aliyense wa ku South Africa ali wowolowa manja ndi nthawi yawo.Izi zili pamwamba pa kuwolowa manja kopanda malire kwa Latin America.Nthawi zambiri ndimaona mikhalidwe ina ya munthu, yodziwika padziko lonse lapansi ngati "Moni" wamba, ulemu wokhazikika kwa "wapaulendo" womwe umawoneka kuti umaposa chipembedzo, dziko, mtundu, ndi chikhalidwe.
Mosakayikira, ndinayamba kupalasa pansi m’maŵa wa Lachisanu, Feb. 7. Mopanda khama kwenikweni ndinayenda mtunda wa makilomita 80 kudutsa m’mapiri a msewu wa kugombe la kumadzulo kwa South Africa.Sizoyipa kwa munthu yemwe sanakhalepo pampando wanjinga m'miyezi 10 yapitayi.
Chosangalatsa ndi chiyani pa ma 80 mailosi…amakhala 1% mwa ma 8,000 omwe akuyerekezeredwa kupita ku Cairo.
Kumbuyo kwanga kunali kowawa, komabe.Miyendo, nayonso.Sindinathe kuyenda, choncho tsiku lotsatira ndinapita kukapuma ndi kuchira.
Ngakhale zinali zochititsa chidwi, ndi bwino kuthawa maseŵera ochitira masewera a ku Cape Town.South Africa imapha anthu 57 patsiku.Pamaziko a munthu aliyense, pafupifupi zofanana ndi Mexico.Izo sizimandifooketsa, chifukwa ndine womveka.Anthu amachita mantha nazo, amandiuza kuti amasilira “kulimba mtima” kwanga.Ndikungolakalaka akanatseka, kuti ndikwere mu umbuli ndi mtendere.
Kumpoto, komabe, kumadziwika kuti ndi kotetezeka.Dziko lotsatira, Namibia, malire ake adakali mtunda wa makilomita 400 kutsogolo kwake, nawonso ndi odekha.
Kukwera malo opangira mafuta am'mbuyomu ndikosangalatsa, mwa njira.Simufunikanso kugula zinthu zonyansazo.Ndine womasulidwa.
Makina akale amphepo amphepo achitsulo amathamangira m'mafamu ogwirira ntchito kuno m'dziko lopanda chipululu, zithunzi zafumbi zonga "Mphesa za Mkwiyo," luso la John Steinbeck la America's Dust Bowl.Nthiwatiwa, ma springboks, mbuzi, nyanja yamchere amawonera tsiku lonse.Munthu amazindikira zambiri ali pampando wanjinga.
Doringbaai ndi chikumbutso cha chifukwa chomwe nthawi zambiri sindimakonzekera, ndimayenda.Zinangopezeka mwangozi, zomwe zinali pamtunda wa makilomita 25 pa mchenga ndi malo ochapira tsiku limenelo, pamene nyumba yoyendera nyali yoyera yaitali ndi chinsanja cha tchalitchi ndi mitengo ina inafika m’chizimezime, n’kufika pomalizira pake ngati malo osambiramo.
Ndinalowetsamo wokongola kwambiri, wotenthedwa ndi dzuwa, wozunguzika pang'ono, ndikulonjezedwa ndi mafunde aubwenzi pamene ndikuyenda patsogolo pang'onopang'ono.
Ambiri mwa malo okhala m'mphepete mwa nyanjayi ndi anthu amtundu wokhala ndi mthunzi wokongola kapena wina, wokhala m'nyumba zokhala ndi nyengo, zonse zofota, zankhanza kuzungulira m'mphepete.Pafupifupi 10 peresenti ndi oyera, ndipo amakhala m'nyumba zowoneka bwino pakona ina ya tawuni, ngodya yomwe ili ndi mawonedwe abwino kwambiri a m'mphepete mwa nyanja.
Mphamvu zinali zitatha madzulo amenewo.South Africa yakonza kuzimitsidwa kwamagetsi, pafupifupi tsiku lililonse.Pali vuto ndi mafakitale amagetsi oyaka ndi malasha.Kuchepetsa ndalama, cholowa cha ziphuphu zakale, ndikusonkhanitsa.
Pali ma pubs awiri, onse aukhondo komanso mwadongosolo, komanso, abwino.Mofanana ndi zikwangwani za m’misewu, alonda amalankhula Chiafrikaans nthaŵi zonse, koma amangosintha n’kupita ku Chingelezi popanda kuphonyapo kanthu, ndipo mosakayikira kunja kuno kuli anthu ambiri amene angasinthe n’kuyamba kulankhula Chizulu popanda kuphonya.Gulitsani botolo la Castle kwa 20 Rand, kapena pafupifupi US$1.35, ndikusilira mbendera za timu ya rugby ndi zikwangwani pakhoma.
Amuna akung'ung'udza awo, akumenyetsana wina ndi mzake ngati omenyana, okhetsa magazi.Ine, wosalankhula, wosalabadira chidwi cha masewerawa.Ndikungodziwa kuti kuchita movutikira kumatanthauza chilichonse kwa anthu ena.
Kusukulu yasekondale kuli bwalo la rugby poyang'ana nyumba yowunikira yomwe ili pamwamba pomwepa nsomba, yomwe mwachiwonekere ndi olemba anzawo ntchito a Doringbaai.Monga momwe ine ndikanawonera, anthu zana amitundu akugwira ntchito kumeneko, molimbika pa izo.
Pamapeto pake, mabwato aŵiri okwera pamahatchi akuyamwa pansi pa nyanja, akukolola diamondi.Madera a m'mphepete mwa nyanja awa, kuchokera kuno mpaka kumpoto mpaka ku Namibia, ali ndi diamondi zambiri, ndaphunzira.
Makilomita 25 oyamba anali opakidwa, mphepo yamkuntho pang'ono, ngakhale kusakhalapo kwa nkhungu yam'mawa yam'mawa kumayenera kukhala chenjezo.Ndikumva kuti ndikukhala wamphamvu, mwachangu, ndiye nkhawa yake ndi chiyani.Ndanyamula mabotolo asanu amadzi koma ndadzaza awiri okha kwa tsiku lalifupili.
Kenako panabwera mphambano.Msewu wopita ku Nuwerus unali wochuluka wa miyala yochepetsera mphamvu ndi mchenga ndi matabwa ochapira ndi mchenga.Msewu uwu nawonso unakhotera kumtunda, ndikuyamba kukwera.
Ndinkakwera phiri nditathira kale madzi anga onse pamene galimoto yaikulu yogwira ntchito inafika kumbuyo.Mwana wowonda anatsamira mpando wokwera (mawilo owongolera ali kumanja), nkhope yaubwenzi, yokondwa, iye amatsanzira "madzi akumwa" kangapo.Anafuula pa injini ya dizilo, "Mukufuna madzi?"
Ndinamugwedeza mwaulemu.Ndi makilomita 20 okha.Izo palibe kanthu.Ndikuyamba kulimba eti?Iye anagwedezeka ndikupukusa mutu pamene ankathamanga.
Kenako panabweranso kukweranso kwina.Chilichonse chimatsatira mokhota ndipo kukwera kwina kumaonekera m’chizimezime.Pasanathe mphindi 15 ndinayamba kumva ludzu.Waludzu kwambiri.
Nkhosa khumi ndi ziwiri zinali zitaunjikana pansi pa khola lamthunzi.Chitsime ndi motengera madzi pafupi.Kodi ndili ndi ludzu lokwera mpanda, ndikuwona zakumwa madzi a nkhosa?
Pambuyo pake, nyumba.Nyumba yabwino kwambiri, yokhazikika, yopanda aliyense.Ndinalibe ludzu loti ndithyolebe, komabe, kuthyola ndi kulowa ngakhale m'maganizo mwanga kunali koopsa.
Ndinali ndi chikhumbo champhamvu chokoka ndi kukodza.Pamene idayamba kuyenderera ndidaganiza zopulumutsa, kumwa.Choncho zochepa zinatuluka.
Ndinagwera mumchenga, mawilo anga anatuluka ndipo ndinagwederadi.Ayi biggie.Ndinamva bwino kuyima chilili.Ndinayang'ananso pa foni yanga.Komabe palibe ntchito.Komabe, ngakhale nditakhala ndi chizindikiro, kodi wina amayimba "911 zadzidzidzi" kunja kuno?Zoonadi galimoto ibwera posachedwa… .
M'malo mwake panabwera mitambo.Mitambo yowoneka bwino komanso yowoneka bwino.Kungodutsa kamodzi kapena awiri kwa mphindi zingapo kumapangitsa kusiyana.Chifundo chamtengo wapatali chochokera ku kuwala kwa dzuwa.
Misala yokwawa.Ndinadzigwira ndikulankhula mokweza mawu.Ndinkadziwa kuti ziyamba kuipa, koma ndinkadziwa kuti mapeto sangakhale patali kwambiri.Koma bwanji ngati ndatembenuka molakwika?Bwanji ngati tayala laphwa?
Pang'ono ndi pang'ono chimphepo chinayambika.Mudzawona mphatso zazing'ono kwambiri nthawi zina.Mtambo wina unagubuduzika.Pamapeto pake, ndinamva galimoto ikubwera kuchokera kumbuyo.
Ndinayima ndikutsika, ndikutsanzira "madzi" pamene ikuyandikira.Munthu wankhalwe wa ku South Africa ali pa gudumu la Land Cruiser yakale anadumphira kunja ndi kundiyang’ana, ndiyeno anafika m’galimotoyo ndi kugaŵira theka la botolo la kola.
Pomalizira pake, zinali choncho.Osati kwambiri kwa Nuwerus.Pali sitolo.Ndinakwawa, kudutsa kauntala ndikukwera pansi pa konkire mu chipinda chozizirirapo.Mayi wogulitsa m'sitolo wa tsitsi la imvi adandibweretsera mtsuko pambuyo pa mtsuko wamadzi.Ana a m'tauniyo, anandiyang'ana ali pakona.
Kunali madigiri 104 kunja uko.Sindinafe, mwachiyembekezo palibe kuwonongeka kwa impso, koma maphunziro omwe ndaphunzira.Pakani madzi otsala.Phunzirani nyengo ndi kusintha kwa mtunda.Ngati madzi aperekedwa, TULANI.Pangani zolakwa za cavalier izi kachiwiri, ndipo Africa ikhoza kunditumiza ku muyaya.Kumbukirani, ndine woposa thumba la nyama, lolendewera ndi fupa ndi lodzaza ndi madzi amtengo wapatali.
Sindinafunikire kukhala ku Nuwerus.Nditatha maola ambiri ndikubwezeretsa madzi m’thupi, ndinagona bwino.Ndinangoganiza kuti ndikakhala m'tauni yabwinja, motalikirapo kwa tsiku limodzi.Dzina la taunilo ndi Afrikaans, limatanthauza “Mpumulo Watsopano,” ndiye bwanji osatero.
Nyumba zingapo zokongola, monga sukulu.Denga lachitsulo lopangidwa ndi malata, mitundu yopanda ndale yokhala ndi ma pastel owala mozungulira mazenera ndi eaves.
Zomera, kulikonse komwe ndimayang'ana, ndizowoneka bwino.Mitundu yonse ya zomera zolimba za m'chipululu zomwe sindingathe kuzitchula.Ponena za nyama, ndinapeza kalozera wa ku Mammals of Southern Africa, omwe anali ndi zilombo zingapo zodabwitsa.Sindikanatha kutchula ochulukirachulukira odziwika bwino.Ndani adamvapo za Dik-Dik, komabe?Kudu?Nyala?Rhebok?Ndidazindikira njira yomwe ndidayiwona tsiku lina, yokhala ndi mchira wobiriwira komanso makutu akulu.Imeneyo inali nkhandwe wamkulu wa Bat-Eared.
Belinda pa “Drankwinkel” anapulumutsa matako anga.Ndinayendanso kupita kusitolo kukayamika chifukwa chondisamalira.Iye anati ine ndinkawoneka moyipa kwambiri, ndiye.Zoyipa adatsala pang'ono kuyimbira adokotala kutawuni.
Si zambiri za sitolo, mwa njira.Zamadzimadzi m'mabotolo agalasi, makamaka mowa ndi vinyo, ndi posungiramo za Jägermeister.Chipinda chozizirirako chakumbuyo, chomwe ndidapumira pansi, sichikusunga zambiri kuposa makabati akale amowa opanda kanthu.
Pali sitolo ina pafupi, yomwe imakhala ngati positi ofesi, imapereka zinthu zapakhomo.Tawuni iyi iyenera kukhala ndi anthu mazana asanu.Ndimasonkhana kamodzi pa sabata amapita ku Vredendal kuti akapeze zinthu.Palibe zogulitsa pano.
Hardeveld Lodge, komwe ndinaziziritsa nsapato zanga, ili ndi dziwe losambira lozungulira, chipinda chodyera chachimuna komanso chipinda chochezera choyandikana nacho chokhala ndi matabwa ambiri apamwamba komanso zikopa zamtengo wapatali.Fey amayendetsa mgwirizano.Mwamuna wake anamwalira zaka zingapo zapitazo.Malo awa adakwapulidwa, malo aliwonse, osawoneka bwino, chakudya chilichonse, chokoma.
Kubwerera ku mphero, msewu waukulu wowolokera ku Northern Cape, chigawo chachikulu kwambiri cha South Africa, ukupereka moni ndi chizindikiro m’zinenero zinayi: Chiafrikaans, Tswana, Xhosa, ndi English.South Africa kwenikweni ili ndi zilankhulo 11 zovomerezeka, mdziko lonse.Tsiku la makilomita 85 limeneli linali malo abwino kwambiri apanjinga.Msewu wa phula, kukwera pang'ono, kuphimba mtambo, kutentha kwapansi.
Nyengo yokwera kwambiri ndi Ogasiti ndi Seputembala, nthawi ya masika ku Southern Hemisphere.Ndi pamene malo akuphulika ndi maluwa.Pali ngakhale malo ochezera amaluwa.Monga lipoti la chipale chofewa lingakuuzeni kuti ndi malo otsetsereka ati omwe ali okoma kwambiri, pali nambala yomwe mungayimbe kuti mumve bwino kwambiri pazithunzi zamaluwa.M’nyengo imeneyo, mapiri amadzaza ndi mitundu 2,300 ya maluwa, ndikuuzidwa.Tsopano, pa nsonga ya chirimwe ... mwamtheradi wosabala.
"Khoswe za m'chipululu" zimakhala kuno, azungu achikulire, akugwira ntchito zamanja ndi ntchito pa malo awo, pafupifupi onse ali ndi chinenero cha Chiafrikaans, ambiri ochokera ku Germany omwe ali ndi ubale wautali ndi Namibia, zonse zidzakuuzani za izo ndi zina.Ndi anthu akhama, Akhristu, kumpoto kwa Ulaya mpaka pachimake.Pali chikwangwani cha m’Chilatini pamene ndinakhala, “Labor Omnia Vincit” (“Ntchito Igonjetsa Zonse”), chimene chimafotokoza mwachidule maganizo awo pa moyo.
Sindingakhale woona mtima ngati ndikananyalanyaza kutchula za ulamuliro wa azungu womwe ndakumana nawo, makamaka kunja kuno kuchipululu.Zochuluka kwambiri kuti zikhale zosamvetsetseka;ena anali kugawana poyera nkhani zabodza za neo-Nazi.Zachidziwikire osati mzungu aliyense, ambiri amawoneka okhutira ndikuchita nawo anansi awo amtundu, koma zinali zokwanira kwa ine kuti nditsimikize bwino kuti malingaliro amdima amayenda mwamphamvu ku Southern Africa, ndikumva udindo wozindikira izi.
Dera la maluwa ili limadziwika kuti "Succulent," lili pakati pa zipululu za Namib ndi Kalahari.Komanso kumatentha kwambiri.Anthu akuwoneka kuti akuganiza kuti ndizodabwitsa kuti ndili pano, tsopano, munthawi yovuta kwambiri.Izi ndi zomwe zimachitika pakakhala "kuyenda" kochuluka komanso "kukonzekera" kochepa kapena kulibe.Zosangalatsa: Ndine ndekha mlendo, kulikonse komwe ndikufika.
Madzulo ena kunagwa mvula kwa mphindi pafupifupi zisanu, mwamphamvu kwambiri, moti inachititsa kuti mitsinje ya misewu yotsetsereka imeneyi ikhale ngalande zamadzi zotulukapo.Zonse zinali zosangalatsa moti anthu ena akumaloko adatuluka m'malo awo kuti ajambule chithunzi.Iwo akhala mu chilala choopsa kwa zaka zambiri.
Nyumba zambiri zimakhala ndi mapaipi otengera madzi amvula kutsika kuchokera padenga lachitsulo kupita ku zitsime.Cloudburst iyi inali mwayi wokweza milingo pang'ono.Kulikonse kumene ndimakhala, amandipempha kuti madzi azisamba.Yatsani madzi ndikunyowa.Zimitsani ndikuwotcha.Kenako muyatsenso kuti muzimutsuka.
Ili ndi bwalo losalekeza komanso losakhululuka.Tsiku lina ndinanyamula mabotolo anayi odzaza madzi kwa gawo limodzi la makilomita 65, ndipo ndinali nditasowa kale nditatsalako mailosi asanu.Panalibe mabelu a alamu omwe ankalira, monga nthawi yapitayi.Palibe misala yokwawa.Magalimoto okwanira ozungulira kuti andipatse chidaliro kuti nditha kukweza kukwera, kapena madzi pang'ono, popeza kutentha kunakwera kufika madigiri 100 pamene ndikulimbana ndi kukwera ndi mphepo.
Nthawi zina m'mapiri ataliatali amakoka, kulowa mumphepo yamkunthoyo, zimamveka ngati nditha kuthamanga kuposa momwe ndikuyendetsa.Nditafika ku Springbok, ndinamenya botolo lagalasi la malita awiri la Fanta, kenaka mtsuko pambuyo pa mtsuko wamadzi wa tsikulo.
Kupitilira apo, panali masiku awiri aulemerero opumula omwe amakhala ku Vioolsdrift Lodge, kumalire.Pano, ndinayang'ana mapiri akuluakulu a m'chipululu ndi mafamu okongola a mphesa ndi mango pamtsinje wa Orange, womwe umapanga malire apakati pa South Africa ndi Namibia.Monga momwe mungaganizire, mtsinjewo ukuchepa.Zotsika kwambiri.
Dziko la Namibia ndi lachipululu lomwe lili ndi anthu 2.6 miliyoni okha, ndipo ndi dziko lachiwiri lomwe lili ndi anthu ochepa kwambiri padziko lonse lapansi, kuseri kwa Mongolia.Mipata yoyasamula pakati pa maenje othirira madzi imakhala yotalika, nthawi zambiri pafupifupi 100 mpaka 150 mailosi.Masiku oyambirira, kukwera.Sindinathe kukwera mtunda wopita ku mphambano yotsatira.Ngati izo zitachitika ine ndinena izo apa, pa ulemu dongosolo.
Kukwera uku ku Africa sikungokhudza masewera, mwa njira.Ndi za kuyendayenda.Pamutu umenewo ndadzipereka kwathunthu.
Monga ngati nyimbo yogwira mtima ingatibwezere ku kumverera komwe kwinakwake m’kupita kwa nthaŵi, kulimbana ndi kupalasa njinga movutikira kumanditengera zaka 30 kumbuyo, ku unyamata wanga ku Treasure Valley.
Momwe kuzunzika pang'ono, mobwerezabwereza, kumandikweza.Ndikutha kumva mankhwalawa, endorphin, opioid wopangidwa mwachilengedwe, akuyamba kulowa tsopano.
Kuposa zomverera zakuthupi izi, ndimabwereranso kukupeza chisangalalo chaufulu.Pamene miyendo yanga yachinyamata inali yolimba mokwanira kundinyamula 100 mpaka 150 mailosi tsiku limodzi, pa malupu kapena kuloza-kumaloza kudutsa m'matauni akutali komwe ndinakulira, malo okhala ndi mayina monga Bruneau, Murphy, Marsing, Star, Emmett, Horseshoe Bend, McCall, Idaho City, Lowman, ngakhale zovuta zinayi za Stanley.Ndi zina zambiri.
Anathawa mipingo yonse ndi anthu ampingo, anathawa zinthu zambiri zopusa za kusukulu, maphwando achinyamata, anathawa ntchito yanthawi yochepa komanso misampha yaing'ono ya bourgeois monga magalimoto ndi malipiro a galimoto.
Njinga inali yamphamvu ndithu, koma koposa pamenepo, ndimomwe ndinapezera ufulu wodziimira poyamba, ndipo kwa ine lingaliro lowonjezereka la “ufulu.”
Namibia imabweretsa zonse pamodzi.Potsirizira pake, kutatsala maola ambiri kusanache kuti nditenthe kutentha, ndinakankhira kumpoto, ndikukwera phiri motentha kwambiri komanso mphepo yamkuntho yopanda ntchito.Nditayenda mtunda wa makilomita 93 ndinafika ku Grünau, m’chigawo cha Namibia cha ||Karas.(Inde, kalembedweko ndi kolondola.)
Zili ngati pulaneti lina kunja uko.Zipululu kuchokera kumalingaliro anu akuthengo.Khalani osangalala pang'ono ndipo nsonga zamapiri zimawoneka ngati nsonga zozungulira za ayisikilimu ofewa.
Kungoyenda pang'ono chabe koma pafupifupi aliyense amapereka zing'onozing'ono zochezeka za lipenga ndi mapampu ena akamadutsa.Ndikudziwa ngati ndiyeneranso kugunda khoma, ali ndi nsana wanga.
M'mphepete mwa msewu, pamakhala mthunzi pang'ono wopezeka pamalo othawirako apo ndi apo.Awa ndi tebulo la konkire lozungulira lokhazikika pa maziko a konkire a sikweya, okhala ndi denga lachitsulo cha sikweya pamwamba, lochirikizidwa ndi miyendo inayi yopyapyala yachitsulo.Hammock yanga imakwanira bwino mkati, diagonally.Ndinakwera mmwamba, miyendo inakwera, ndikudula maapulo, madzi otsekemera, ndikuwombera ndi kumvetsera nyimbo kwa maola anayi owongoka, otetezedwa ku dzuwa la masana.Panali chinachake chodabwitsa pa tsikulo.Ndinganene kuti sipadzakhalanso china chonga icho, koma ndikuganiza kuti ndili ndi zina zambiri patsogolo.
Titachita phwando ndi usiku tinamanga msasa pampata wa njanji ku Grünau, ndinapitiriza.Nthawi yomweyo panali zizindikiro za moyo panjira.Mitengo ina, yomwe ili ndi zisa zazikulu kwambiri za mbalame zomwe sindinaziwonepo, maluwa achikasu, zikwi zambiri za mphutsi zakuda zakuda zikuwoloka msewu.Kenako, "Padstal" walalanje wonyezimira, kanyumba kakang'ono kamene kali m'bokosi lamalata.
Osasowa chakumwa, ndinayimabe ndikuyandikira zenera."Kodi alipo pano?"Mtsikana wina anatulukira pakona ya mdima, nandigulitsira chakumwa choziziritsa kukhosi pa 10 Namibian Dollars (US 66 cents)."Mumakhala kuti?"ndinafunsa.Anandikodola paphewa, “famu,” ndinayang'ana uku ndi uku, palibe kanthu.Iyenera kukhala pamwamba pa hump.Amalankhula m'Chingelezi chodziwika bwino kwambiri, ngati mwana wamfumu, phokoso lomwe limatha kubwera kuchokera nthawi yonse ya moyo wa chilankhulo chake cha ku Africa, mwina Khoekhoegowab, kuphatikiza, Chiafrikaans.
Madzulo amenewo, mitambo yakuda inafika.Kutentha kunatsika.Kumwamba kunasweka.Kwa pafupifupi ola limodzi, kunagwa mvula yosalekeza.Nditafika kale kunyumba ya alendo yomwe inali m’mbali mwa msewu, ndinasangalala limodzi ndi antchito a pafamupo, ndipo nkhope zawo zinali zowala.
Nyimbo zanyimbo za m'ma 1980 Toto, "Dalitsani Mvula mu Africa," tsopano ndizomveka kuposa kale.
