Ngenxa ye-algae, ulwandle lungangcola, akukho msebenzi, chaza ngenkinga yasendaweni, fika lapho kunzima futhi ubukeke khona ikakhulukazi lutho. Kepha i-Albania nayo yayiya eholidini naphakathi kokukhethwa kukho okucatshangelwe. Nginqume ukuhamba ngiyobona leli lizwe elivaliwe enkabeni yeYurophu.
Futhi kwadingeka ngiphumule lapho eguqulwa khona kwama-durres. Lona ugu lolwandle lwe-adriatic, olungena kumakhilomitha amaningi. Ihhotela lami nje lalicishe lisebhishi. Kuyaqapheleka ukuthi amabhishi lapha anezindawo ezinesihlabathi, ezibushelelezi futhi eziningi kakhulu. Kuliqiniso, ngangingasekho phakathi nenkathi, lapho kungekho khona ukuphumula, kepha ngokutholwa okukhulu ngeke kusondele kakhulu lapha. Ngaphezu kwalokho, amahhotela namahhotela ayakhelwa ngokoqobo emgqeni owodwa noma emibili futhi awedluli izitezi ezi-5-6. Ngakho-ke ngenkathi izivakashi lapha zizoba zincane. Ngiphinde ngathanda ukuthi ungahamba ngokukhululeka ngasogwini. Awekho enye indawo othango kanye nothango. Ngakho-ke uma ufisa, ungathola elinye ulwandle.
Futhi namanje ehamba ngasogwini ungakhubeka phezu kwendlu. Lezi zinhlaka zamasosha ezinosayizi ahlukene zihlakazekile ezweni lonke futhi ziyikhadi lebhizinisi lase-Albania. Hhayi-ke, ungasithatha kanjani isithombe nabo!
Ngifuna ukukutshela ngesimo sezulu. Bengisekuqaleni kuka-Okthoba. Lokhu akuseyona inkathi yolwandle, kepha isimo sezulu singaba khona ehlobo impela. Nganginenhlanhla. Wafika olwandle esitokisini sezemidlalo, futhi lapho kwadingeka ngamkhulisa ukubhukuda. Futhi yize kwakunamafu, kepha kufudumele ngokuphelele. Ngaphandle kwalokho olwandle, kwavunguza umoya ofudumele. Kwaqhamuka ngisho nokubhukuda olwandle lwe-Adriatic. Kwavela ukuthi uthando olungaka, naphezu kokuntuleka kokushisa, hhayi okungcolile. Futhi ibhishi ngokwalo lalihlanzekile ngokuphelele. Njengokungathi uphumula sonke inkathi futhi awunjalo. Hlukana namaholide olwandle ngalesi sikhathi, ungahamba kuphela ogwini. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kungaba wusizo olukhulu. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, ulwandle, ngakolunye uhlangothi kwakukhona ama-coxiferous. Ungacabanga ukuthi zingaki izinto eziwusizo emoyeni zilengiswa?
Kepha okokuqala angihambanga lapha ngenxa yolwandle nolwandle, kungakanani izwe. Kulesi simo sezulu nje kulula kakhulu ukuhlola izinto ze-Albania. Kepha kungcono ukukwenza ngohambo oluhleliwe. Kepha ungaqala ngokuhlolwa okuzimele kweDurres kanye nenhloko-dolobha yesimo saseTiranana, lapho ungathola khona i-minibus noma itekisi kusuka ehhotela.
E-Durres kunokuthile okubonayo. I-Amphitheatre yaseRoma igcinwe lapha, iForamu yaseByzantine neRotonda, umbhoshongo waseVenetian. Ungase futhi ubone imibukiso yemnyuziyamu emivubukulo kanye ne-villa yeKing Ahmet I Zogu. Ungaqedela ukuhamba eDurres Embankment, evula umbono omuhle wolwandle kanye nechweba.
Ngokuvamile, nganeliseka ngokugibela. I-Albania yabonakala kimi njengezwe elimnandi futhi elinomoya wokungenisa izihambi, elingakabikaliswa ukunakwa kwezivakashi, okusho ukuthi ukuya lapha ukufanele.
