Kangangeminyaka emininzi, iMalta idume ngokungayi kuphela kuphela imbali enobutyebi kuphela, kodwa kunye neendawo zokuchithela iiholide. Esi siqithi sihlala sifudumele kwaye siphantse sandanda. Nangona kunjalo, umoya uye wandanyusa umswakama.
Kwinxalenye esemantla kwesi siqithi kukho enye yezona ndawo zidumileyo zeMaltese. Igama lalo mmandla - Marfa (Marfa). Ngokwenene, le yipeninsula encinci emantla kwesi siqithi, kubandakanya iilali ezininzi, kubandakanya i-chirkev. Intsimi ixakekile, ubukhulu becala yimigca yemihla ngemihla, izinyuko zehlathi, izindlu zelizwe kunye nomhlaba wezolimo. Ekuphela kwendlela eya eMarfu ngempucuko idlula eMelling, etyebileyo phambi kwale bay melliha bay.
Nangona kuzo zonke iincwadi ezikhokelayo kwaye ubhale ukuba uMartha abekhona "kwindawo ekufutshane ne-valettes", enyanisweni ayinjalo.
Ewe, ngokwenene, iikhilomitha ezingama-25 zokufikelela kude kwi-Malta yemali-umgama mncinci ngokupheleleyo. Kodwa hayi ngemigangatho yeli tiny. Ngokunxulumene neValletta, uMartha uhlala kwelinye icala lesiqithi! Kwaye ufike apha kwiValletta kuphela kwithiyori ngokulula. Ngapha koko, indlela ixinekile kwaye ivuthuza, idlula kwiindawo ezininzi kwaye akukho zimpawu kuyo yonke indawo. Ewe, kwaye umgangatho wesigqubuthelo sendlela awuyiyo yonke indawo yaseYurophu.
Kwangelo xesha, uMarfa yenye yezona ndawo zithandwayo kwiMalta. Isiseko seRhafu yeNdawo yokuHamba-iilwandle Kukuthini na ukuFunyanwa kwesiqithi. Apha yonke into engaselunxwemeni kwintlango ingakhuliswa, kodwa igutyungelwe ngokungafaniyo "ye-Rall Bay, eParali-Qoorin, Ramla Torri). URamla Tower-Qortin Bay Bech, ogama linguRidge, emanyaniselweni akhoyo, unendlela enamatye kwaye ayiphazamisi. Iholide zihlala zithanda i-barmor engummelwane. Olunye unxweme oluncinci lweSandy ekupheleni kwenkunzi yeRamla yeyokufika apho.
Ngendlela, uMelie way unabay onokubanjwa ngokuvakaliswa kwindawo kaMartha, njengoko iMellich Bay ifana nomda phakathi kukaMartha noMelloi. Kwaye iilwandle zikaMartha - indawo kuphela eMalta, equka nesanti yegolide ecocekileyo. Yile ndawo ilungele ukuzonwabisa nabantwana. Kwaye abantu abadala kwiilwandle zasekhaya ziya kuba ngaphezulu kokukhululeka. Ngendlela, uninzi lweelwandle zesiqithi zityekile kwaye zilungelelene ngendlela engeyiyo yokuphumla okuqhelekileyo.
Elinye ilungelo likaMartha kukuba le venkile ikude nengxolo yezixeko ezikhulu, ejikelezwe ngamacandelo emveliso yendalo kunye nomoya ococekileyo. Apha ubomi buyilinganisa kwaye bumnandi, ngaphandle kwe-suss. Akukho zibukwini zasebusuku edolophini, ngaphandle kwezixhobo ezincinci zokutyela ezisondeleyo elwandle. I-cuisine yesizwe ye-Maltese enezinto ezininzi zokulala kwaselwandle, umoya ovuthuzayo, i-surf ihlebeza, ukucula kwe-cicade. Phumla phumla. Kungenxa yoko le nto yindawo efanelekileyo yabo bafuna ukuchitha ixesha nosapho lwabo.
Apha sihlala sikuvuyela abakhenkethi kwaye sinokunikezela ngokuphumla kuyo nayiphi na i-wallet. IZIPHUMO ZIHLOLO ZIFUMANELEKILEYO NEHOTE ZONKE IINJONGO ZOKUGQIBELA, IINJONGO ZE-HOOSTE NEZITHUBA ZOBUCHULE. Njengommiselo, iihotele zibonelela ngokutshintshelwa kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya.
Kodwa! UMarfa akunakulindeleka ukuba anomdla kubantu abancinci, njengoko ubusuku obuxhunyiwe apha bunokulala ngokuzola. Zonke izinto zefashoni zefashoni kunye nee-discos zikwindawo ye-Saint Giulians, kunye nobusuku obunesaqhwithi nobunxunguphalo bunokubanjwa kuphela apho. Kwaye oku kuphantse ziikhilomitha ezingama-20.
UMarfa usaqwalaselwa yindawo elungileyo yokuntywila, emanzini eetawuli kukho iindawo ezininzi ezinomdla zokuntswada. Eyona nto ilungileyo, mhlawumbi, ithathwa njengeyona ndawo ibizwa ngokuba ngu "Marfa". Kukho imiqolomba emibini engaphantsi kwamanzi kunye nemijelo emibini. Kwenye yemiqolomba ongayibona i-Madonna phantse kwixabiso lendalo, kwaye enye yee-tunes zifana neleta yesiLatin "l". Mna nam andinguye we-diver kunye nendawo ethe ngqo "I-Marfa Pingelo" andazi, kodwa ndiqinisekile ukuba isikhokelo sehotele siya kukuxelela. Kufutshane noMartha, ecaleni kwesiqithi saseSt. UPawulos ngumfanekiso kaYesu Kristu. Ngoku lo mfanekiso ubonakalisa iitoni ezili-13 ezifakwe kubunzulu beemitha ezilishumi. Ijongeka ngathi inomdla. Kwaye kufutshane kakhulu nomfanekiso kaYesu, kukho isifuba esidala, esasikhe sahambisa abantu phakathi kweziqithi zeMalta naseGozo. Kwaye yonke imikhosi kufuneka ikhumbule imithetho yendawo, ngokwendlela yokufumana kunqatshelwe ukuthumela ngaphandle ngaphandle kwelizwe.
Yintoni enye eyayoliswa nguMartha? Ukusuka kulo naliphi na inqaku loNxweme oluNtsisweni-ntshona, iimbono eziqaqambileyo kwiziqithi ze-gozo nase-chino ziyavulwa.
Apha, eChirkev, kwelona nqanaba ligqwesileyo leMalta, i-ferries iya kwisiqithi saseGozo (Gozo Ferries). Ukusuka kwipier efanayo, ungabhukuda kwisikhephe ukuya kwisiqithi se-comino kunye ne-lagoon yayo eluhlaza.
Ndicinga ukuba awuyi kuzisola ukuba uMartha yindawo yeholide yakho eMalta. UMarfa unomtsalane kwinto yokuba apha unokuphumla ngokugqibeleleyo, ngokungeyomfuneko ngaphandle kokulayisha ngenkqubo yohambo olugcweleyo. Inayo yonke imeko eyimfuneko yedreave nezolileyo, ngaphandle kokuphazamiseka. Yintoni enye abantu abanokuthi abahlali basezixeko ezinkulu kunye ne-megacki anokuphupha?
Ndiza kushwankathela.
UMartha ulungele ukuzonwabisa nabantwana.
Yiya apha intombazana kuphela ikhuselekile ngokupheleleyo, njengakwiMalta akukho lukhuni kwaphela.
