• Uphengululo lwe

Xa uninzi lwabantu lucinga Ikhefu lomtshato, abadli ngokucinga ngokomelela. Emva komnqweno wokucwangcisa umtshato, ungqengqe kwindawo yokuphumla ene-cocktail ebandayo esandleni sakho embindini welizwe jikelele unendlela yokuvakala izuke ngakumbi. (Eyeleleneyo: Ulisebenzisa Njani Iholide Yakho ukuze *Okwenyani* Uphumle)

Kodwa ukuzivocavoca kukuthomalalisa uxinzelelo olukhulu kum, ke xa mna nomyeni wam uChristo siceba ukuya kwiholide yethu yasemva komtshato e-Itali, bendisazi ukuba izibini zeziteki ziya kungena kwisutikheyisi yam. Baza kundinceda ukuba ndibaleke kwi-jet lag kwaye ndigcine ixhala. Ndandisazi, nangona kunjalo, nokuba ndizixelele kangakanani ukuba ndiza kusebenza, iiveki ezimbini zewayini ebomvu kunye nepizza, iindlela ezinomoya zonxweme lwase-Amalfi lwase-Itali (funda: ngokuqinisekileyo ukungabi ngumgijimi), kwaye ii-gyms zehotele ezingaphantsi kune-stellar zinokundigcina ngokulula ekuzilolongeni.

Emva koko ndatyikitya isiqingatha semarathon esenzeka kwiintsuku ezintandathu emva kokutshata. Ngoku, andiyiyo i-setter-setter enkulu, kodwa ndibhalisela isiqingatha-I-Boston Athletic Association Half Marathon, ugqatso endihlala ndifuna ukwenza ngalo kunye nabahlobo bam abasenyongweni kubonakala ngathi ngumceli mngeni olungileyo.

IHoneymoon

Ndibetha ihotele yokunyathela ihotele ukuhamba kweemitha ezintathu ezinesiqingatha kusuku lwethu lokuqala e-Itali. Mhlawumbi ngendenze oko nokuba bendibaleka ugqatso okanye hayi (i-cardio inceda ukukhulula i-jet lag yam). Kodwa iiseshoni ezimbini ezizayo-ezikhawulezayo zemayile enesiqingatha zibaleka kunye nobunzima ekuseni ngaphambi kokuba siphume usuku olupheleleyo lokubona indawo-ngokuqinisekileyo ngekhe kwenzeke.

Enyanisweni, enye yezona ndawo zibalaseleyo kwi-honeymoon yethu yenzeke ngeepesenti ezili-100 ngenxa yolu gqatso. Ngosuku lwethu lwesibini eTuscany, ummandla wewayini wase-Italiya, savuka kwibhedi encinane ethandekayo nesidlo sakusasa esibizwa ngokuba yiL'Olmo, ngaphandle nje kwelali yeRenaissance yasePienza. Sitye isidlo sakusasa kufutshane nephuli yehotele engaphezulwana kweenduli, ejonge iinduli eziluhlaza kunye nezidiliya kwaye singqongwe ziibhedi zasemini ezihonjiswe ngamakhethini amhlophe amhlophe, ajongeka ngathi aphuma emaphupheni akho. Iqondo lobushushu laligqibelele. Ilanga laliphumile. Besingahlala apho imini yonke kunye neAperol spritzes ngaphandle kwesikhalazo emhlabeni.

Kodwa bendine-10 yeemayile zokubaleka. Ngobusuku obungaphambi (nangona emva kweiglasi ezimbalwa zewayini), bendikhe ndenza imephu ngento ebonakala ngathi ikufutshane naloo mgama. UChristo wayevumile ukukhwela ibhayisekile ecaleni kwam kwenye yeebhayisekile zentaba eziqeshisayo. (Kuyanceda ukuba ukwangumqeqeshi wentenetya wasekholejini, ngoko ke usoloko elungiselela ukuzilolonga.) Xa sichazela abanye abantu abaza kutshata behleli ehotele yethu ngesicwangciso sethu, babonakala … bemangalisiwe. Esinye isibini sathi asizange sipakishe neeteki zaso. Omnye usixelele ukuba bayekile ukuzilolonga ngexesha lohambo lwabo. (Akukho ntloni, wonke umntu wahlukile!)

Mna noChristo siye saqonda ukuba ngaphezulu kokuntywila kumdyarho wokugqibela, uhambo olude lokubaleka ibhayisekile iya kuba yindlela eyahlukileyo yokuziqhelanisa nommandla kwaye sibone ilizwe lewayini ngeenyawo.

Yayimangalisa.

Kangangeeyure, ndabaleka, yaye uChristo wayehamba ngebhayisekile kwiindledlana ezimdaka ezibekwe yimithi yemisipres edumileyo yaseTuscany, esima efotweni. Sihambile sayodlula izitendi zasefama kunye neevenkile zewayini kunye neeresityu zalapha. Sikhe iidiliya. Ndandibaleka ndisihla ndinyuka ngeendledlana, kwiinduli ezindleleni ezazidibanisa iidolophu zamaxesha angqongwe ziinqaba. Wabhabha wehla iinduli eziphakamileyo enamavili amabini. Yonke imizuzu embalwa, ukujika kuvulelekile ukuya kumhlaba owoyikisayo weediliya kunye namadlelo. YayiyiTuscany ofunda ngayo kwaye uyibona kwimifanekiso bhanyabhanya yeefilimu kunye nezembozo zamaphephancwadi.

Kwaye nangona ndingawuboni kakuhle umgama wohambo lwethu-sigqibele sibaleka sihamba ngebhayisikile malunga neekhilomitha ezili-12-sagqiba edolophini elisentabeni apho safumana indawo yokutyela eludongeni yesonka samanzi kunye nebhiya yase-Itali.

Emva kwelo lizwe lewayini-phantse-isiqingatha, andizange ndibaleke de safika kwihotele emhlophe ebizwa ngokuba yiCasa Angelina, eyakhiwe eweni kunxweme lwaseAmalfi. Yayiziintsuku ezimbalwa kamva kwaye sasisekupheleni kohambo lwethu. Ukwazi ukuba andinakuhamba iintsuku ezininzi ndingakhange ndibethe ipavumente, ndazinyanzela ukuba ndiphume ebhedini phambi kwelanga ngenye intsasa ukuba ndibale imizuzu engama-45 kwitayile yokunyathela-eyenzekileyo nje ukujonga uLwandle lwaseTyrrhenian, iPositano ephuphayo, kunye nesiqithi saseCapri mgama. Yaziva intle. Ndihleli phantsi kwisidlo sakusasa ndiziva ndiphumelele kwaye ndinamandla.

IHalf Marathon

Ungandivi kakubi, ugqatso belusenzima. Ngokuyinxenye kungenxa yokuba le khosi idume ngokuba nenduli ngenkqubo yepaki yaseBoston, iEmerald necklace. Imozulu ikwaloluyahlobo lokuhlangana-olunamafu olufudumeleyo apho kwelinye icala wonwabile ilanga lingakhanyisi, kodwa kwelinye, uziva ngathi ukwigumbi lomphunga. Kodwa ubukhulu becala, kwakunzima kuba loo mvakalelo ye-jet-laggy isahleli.

Ngethamsanqa, kwimayile ye-11, yaqala ukugalela-indawo eyamkelekileyo emva komdyarho oshushu. Kwaye xa siwele umgca wokugqibela (imizuzu nje embalwa emva kwempawu zeyure ezimbini!), Ndiyazi ukuba ugqatso ibilolona nyango lufanelekileyo kwi-jet lag kunye nendlela entle yokuhlala kumkhondo kunye nokuqina. Incede nasekuyileni i-honeymoon eyimpumelelo egcwele uphando kunye nomsebenzi kunye nolonwabo. (Idibeneyo: Ngokuchanekileyo Yintoni enokuyenza-kwaye ungayenzi-emva kokuqalisa iHalf Marathon)

Ukuba khange ndicwangcisele isiqingatha, ndiqinisekile ukuba bendizakube ndingene abambalwa ukuzilolonga kwi-honeymoon yam, kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo ngekhe ndibenayo into endiyijonge phambili, into endiyisebenzelayo, kunye nento endinokuzingca ngayo emva komtshato, emva kwehoneymoon. kwenzeke njani-yonke into-yenzeke-ngokukhawuleza? iimvakalelo zathamba.

Okona kubaluleke kakhulu, ngekhe ndiyenze loo ndlela ye-12 yeekhilomitha ejikeleze ilizwe laseTuscan ngaloo mini. Olo suku lolunye esele sikhumbule malunga nazo zonke iintsuku ezimbalwa, sicinga ngokujonga kunye nezandi kunye neenkumbulo zamandla ezixabiseke ngakumbi kunembasa.
