Iphumle ngentombazana e-Chersonese, ekwakufuphi neSevastopol. Iimvakalelo zokuzonwabisa zimbini. Sigqibe kwelokuba siyeke kufutshane indawo yogcino, kuba ndifunda kwenye indawo apho le ndawo yayinamandla afanelekileyo kwaye yagqiba ekubeni ihlawule unyaka olandelayo. Iimeko zokuhlala kunye nesondlo eCemerica ziphantse zalingana, ngoko ke saliqeshisa icandelo labucala kwiimali zakho ezikufutshane nendawo oyithandayo.
Njengoko iguqukile ekubeni yingxaki yokwenyani ngamanqwanqwa axhobileyo kwiChersonese. Abakho. Ukucela abahlali balapha, sakwazi ukufumana ukuba iilwandle zasendle zibekwe kwiindawo ezintathu kufutshane nokuhlala. Ngosuku lokuqala, sagqiba kwelokuba siye satyelela i-basil edumileyo kwaye senze iseshoni yefoto esondeleyo kufutshane neColon. Kuba enye yeelwandle yayikufuphi, sathabatha i-swilsuits kwaye samangaliswa kakhulu kukuba babembalwa abantu elunxwemeni. Xa wada wasondela wacaca ukuba kutheni. Unxweme oluStony lwahanjiswa ngamaqhekeza apho kwakungekho lula ukuma, ukungasathethi ngelanga. Sisesichengeni sangena emanzini, kodwa kwizilayidi, njengokuba i-cobblestones ijikelezwe nge-algae, ekungekho mnandi ukuchukumisa imilenze. Emva kokubhukuda, asihlali kolu nxweme ixesha elide. Olunye unxweme lwalubekwe kufutshane nentsimbi yeChersoness. Unxweme lwalapho lwaya lufana nelitye. Apho sachitha usuku lonke.
Imihla elandelayo esichithe ehambahamba ihambahamba kwindawo yaseKhaya, eyisixa esikhulu kwindawo yokuhlala. Kwanangalo ixesha baziva ngathi babemi bale ndawo, njengoko bengakhethwanga abanye ngohambo kwi-proata.
Ukuphonononga unxweme olujikeleze indawo, sisakwazi ukufumana intlabathi yesanti, eyayiyindawo esiyithandayo ngexesha lakhe lasimahla ukusuka ekuhambeni kwayo kuhamba ijikeleze indawo yokuhlala. Kukufuphi nomnyango wendawo enguVimba kwaye kwakwakungekho ntweni, malunga nezinye iilwandle ze-chersonese. Omnye umsebenzisi obonakalayo wayejonga ukuhamba kweenqanawa kunye neekhefu kwi-quarrinine bay.
Ngokubanzi, uyathanda ukubulela kakhulu kwizinto ezininzi zakudala, ezinembali. Ewe kunjalo, ukunqongophala kwezixhobo zaselwandle ekuqaleni kwachukunyiswa kwiholide, kodwa akuzange kuwonakalise umbono wonke kule ndawo. Mhlawumbi, ngokwenene, indawo enamandla afanelekileyo.
