IBratislava yidolobha laseYurophu, inhloko-dolobha yaseSlovakia. Omunye uzosho ukuthi mncane kakhulu kangangokuba akunangqondo ukuya lapha. Ngizophendula ngokuthi unephutha. Le ndawo iyathakazelisa ukuthi lapha ungathumela, ngoba enhloko-dolobha yaseSlovakia, njengokungathi, isimo sezikhathi zaseSoviet sigcinwa. Izakhiwo ezindala ezifuywayo, inani elikhulu lezikhumbuzo ezenziwe njengesikhumbuzo sempi enkulu yokuthanda izwe. Hhayi-ke, akujabulisi?
Vele, ezinye izindlu zeBratislava azilinganiselwe. Lapha, njengasemadolobheni amaningi aseYurophu, kukhona ingxenye endala, lapho izakhiwo zeminyaka ehlala isikhathi eside zigcinwe khona. Futhi yize idolobha elidala lenhloko-dolobha laseSlovakia lincane kakhulu ngosayizi, futhi lingavinjelwa ngemuva kwengxenye yehora, kepha amagama ambalwa ngale ngxenye yedolobha kufanele ashiwo. Ukuhlola kwaqala nge-Cathedral yasendulo yaseSt. Martin. Ukusuka kule ndawo kunemigwaqo yamakhosi (noma indlela yokukhomba) ephawulwe ngezifanekiselo zegolide ezinjalo eceleni kwendlela.
Udlula kulo lonke idolobha elidala. Ukuhamba emigwaqweni emincane yale ngxenye yeBratislava, ungena emkhathini okhethekile wokuthula nokuzola. Ihlanzekile impela lapha futhi cishe ithule. Imvamisa, ungahlangana endleleni yabantu abahamba ngedwa, bodwa, bagxile emicabangweni yakho.
Lesi sithombe esingenhla sibonisa isango le-mikhal - lawa ukuphela kwamasango endawo, egcinwe kuze kube manje. Kule ndawo indlela yokuhlanganisa iyaphela, kepha, njengedolobha elidala uqobo. I-tower Spire ithweswe umqhele ngesibalo sengelosi yase-Arbangel Mikhail, sekuyisikhathi eside samukelwa njengomvikeli wedolobha.
Ukuhamba e-Bratislava endala, ngaya e-Embankment, ukusuka lapho umbono omuhle we-danube uyavulwa khona, ngemuva kwalokho wakhuphuka enye yamapulatifomu okubuka, ngabona iBratislav yavela ngenhla. Yonke indawo, ophahleni olubomvu obomvu, endaweni ethile ebangeni lungabonakala, kuxhuma zombili izingxenye zedolobha (elidala nelisha). Ngendlela, emva kwalokho, ngavele ngaya ebhulohweni lapho kwakhiwa khona i-Pedestrian Walway. Ilula kakhulu kulabo abathanda ukuhamba ngezinyawo.
Ngiyaxolisa kakhulu ukuthi anginaso isikhathi sokuthatha uhambo lokuya eCastle Devin, etholakala emlonyeni weDanube naseMorava, lapho ungafika khona esikebheni. Ngiyethemba ukuthi ngiyoke ngize eSlovakia futhi ngibone lo mbono. Okwamanje, konke!
