Southern Sun Elangeni & Maharani

Sithokozile imihla yokulala. Sithokozile umbono we-Indian Ocean ovela efasiteleni lethu. Sithokozile ukudla kwasekuseni futhi izinketho ze-vegan zazimnandi. Sithokozile ukuthi banikela ngodla lwe-comrades ekuseni phakathi kuka-1:00 a.m. kuya ku-3:00 a.m. kanye nezidlo ezithathwayo neziphuzo. Sithokozile ukuthi sikwazile ukuthola amabhasi e-Comrades ngemuva kwehhotela, kanye nokuthatha uhambo lwe-Bruce Fordyce Comrades ngqo ngemuva kwehhotela. Sithokozile indawo yokuhlala ibikude kakhulu ne-Comrades expo. Sihambe ukusuka ehhotela siya kwi-expo. Sithokozile ukuthi sibe nomuntu ohlanza uMandy oza nsuku zonke. Wayengumuntu ophilile kakhulu futhi wenza umsebenzi omuhle nsuku zonke. Abantu bokusebenza kwekhaya nabo babenobubele kakhulu futhi i-curry ye-vegan ne-rice yayimnandi kakhulu futhi iphinde ibe ne-spice. Sazizwa siphephile ehhotela. Sithokozile igym esendaweni esiyisebenzisile kabili. Umbono we-Indian Ocean wawungcono kakhulu engake ngabona egym!! Sithokozile i-day spa esiyisebenzisile kanye kuphela ngemuva kwe-Comrades Marathon, sithokozisa imithambo yengalo nehlombe. Abantu bethu abahlinzeki bemassage babenobuchwepheshe obuphezulu futhi babenobubele. Iphuli yayihle ukuyibona kodwa asizange siyisebenzise njengoba yayibanda kakhulu... ngnext time 😊. Iqiniso lokuthi i-park run ye-North Beach yayiphakathi komgwaqo yayiyinhle. Sazizwa sithokozile ukuthi sibe nokudla kwe-buffet ehhotela ngemuva kwe-Comrades Marathon futhi ngoba sobabili sibe nemidanti... kwaba nekhono elincane. Abasebenzi babenobubele kakhulu kithi kulolo suku... kungenzeka ukuthi babebona ukuthi sikhathazekile. Uhambo lwe-shuttle lwe-airport emuva e-Durban airport lwaluhle kakhulu futhi lusebenza kahle. Sihlele lokhu kalula nge-shop esendaweni ehhotela. Owesifazane osishayelayo waya e-airport wayengumuntu ophilile kakhulu futhi enolwazi. Izinto ezinhle ngale hhotela ziqinile kakhulu uma ziqhathaniswa nezinkinga ezincane esahlangabezana nazo. Ngicabanga ukuthi ngibhukhe i-airport shuttle ukusuka e-Durban airport kuya ehhotela njengoba sifika sebusuku. Ngithumele i-imeyili ehhotela njengoba bekuceliwe ngemininingwane yokundiza. Angizange ngiqonde ukuthi kufanele ngigcwalise ifomu futhi. Akekho owafika ukusithatha ngakho saphenduka senze lokho okukhulunywa ukuthi singakwenzi e-Durban futhi sahlangana nomuntu osebenza e-airport. Lo muntu waba nobubele kakhulu futhi wasiza, walinda izinsuku ezimbalwa ngaphambi kokuthi sikwazi ukumkhokhela njengoba singenayo imali. Lo muntu wasisindisa njengoba kwakungekho ama-Ubers noma amabhasi ngalolo suku lwebusuku futhi angikwazanga ukufonela ngaphandle ngocingo lwami noma ngifonela ehhotela. Ekudleni kwasekuseni, bekungekho zinketho ze-vegan ze-yogurt futhi bekufanele ngicela ubisi lwe-soy + ibhotela le-vegan nsuku zonke okwakubonakala kukhathaza abasebenzi. Bekufanele ngicela inketho yobisi lwe-vegan efasiteleni lami nsuku zonke futhi abantu bokusebenza kwekhaya bekufanele bayilethe, okwakuhlala kubonakala kungajabulisi. Bekungekho izibiliboco ze-vegan efasiteleni, kodwa bekukhona ama-biscuit uma ungavumi. Bekukhona ukuvuza ngaphansi kwesinki e-bathroom. Bekukhona isikhala eceleni kwefasiteleni esavumela umoya ukuthi ungene, okwenza kube noisy kakhulu ngobusuku obunye lapho bekukhona umoya omkhulu kakhulu. Omunye wabantu abasebenzi (ekupheleni kokuhlala kwethu) ekudleni kwasekuseni wayengakabi nobubele. Sabe sithukile ngokuqondisa futhi sacabanga ukuthi lokho bekuyinkinga ngoba singenayo imali yokuphawula. Lokhu bekuyiphutha lethu futhi sizothola ngempela ngalesi sikhathi sokuphawula nezimfuno zokuphawula sokuhamba kwethu okulandelayo. Ngobusuku obunye ngacela i-spaghetti enososo lwe-napolitana kusuka kumsebenzi wekhaya futhi ngacacisa ukuthi angifuni ushizi njengoba ngingu-vegan. Nokho, ukudla kwami kwafika ne-ushizi omningi. Ngakhipha ushizi futhi ngakudla noma kunjalo 😊.

Indawo yeHhotela, ukuhlanzeka, igumbi elinokuthokozisa kanye nabasebenzi beRestauranti abaqeqeshiwe nabasebenza kahle abaqinisekisile ukuthi imenyu ihlangabezana nezidingo zawo wonke umuntu futhi ukudla bekukuhle. Abasebenzi beHhotela babenobubele futhi beqeqeshiwe. Nokho, angithokozanga ukuthi abaphathi babengatholakali kalula eFoyer yeHhotela (ngaphandle) futhi babengazange banikeze usizo ngempahla. Ngaphezu kwalokho, angithokozanga ukuthi abanye abasebenzi beReception babephuza igamu ngesikhathi besiza izivakashi, okungukuthi, ngokombono wami, akuphumelelanga.

Yize ukuhlanzeka kanye namagumbi bekulungele, ukunganeliseki kwavela lapho bekufanele sime emigqeni emide ukuze sithole ukudla kwasekuseni kanye nokudla kwasemini? Ngaphezu kwalokho, nihlinzeke umphakathi wamaSulumane ekudleni kwasekuseni ngokugcina ukudla okungahhalalwe kude, kodwa lokhu akusasebenzi. Ngikhulume nabapheki mayelana nalolu daba futhi yena wayengabukeli kahle ngakho. Ngiphinde ngakhuluma nomphathi we-fnb ophatha ukudla okungahhalalwe okwakugcinwe phakathi kwe-veggie ne-chicken, okwakhe wathi bazobheka kabusha. Kodwa akukho lutho olwenziwayo ohambweni lwami lwesibili lapho. Kufanele kube nohlelo olwakhiwe ukuze wonke umuntu ajabulele ukudla kwasekuseni ngaphandle kokuma emigqeni emide futhi futhi ukudla okungahhalalwe kugcinwe kude. Angizokweluleka le hhotela kunoma ubani wami noma emndenini. Ngidumazekile.
