Southern Sun Elangeni & Maharani

Siyawuthanda emathafeni alula. Siyawuthanda umbono we-Indian Ocean ovela efasiteleni lethu. Siyawuthanda ukudla kwasekuseni futhi izinketho ze-vegan zazimnandi. Siyawuthanda ukuthi banikeze ukudla kwasekuseni kwe-Comrades kusukela ngo-1:00 a.m. kuya ku-3:00 a.m. nezokudla neziphuzo ezithathwayo. Siyawuthanda ukuthi sikwazi ukuthola amabhasi e-Comrades ngemuva kwehhotela, kanye nokuthatha uhambo lweBruce Fordyce Comrades ngqo ngemuva kwehhotela. Siyawuthanda indawo yokuhlala eduze kwe-Comrades expo. Sihambe sisuka ehhotela siya kwi-expo. Siyawuthanda ukuthi sibe nomuntu ophumayo uMandy oza nsuku zonke. Wayengumuntu opholile kakhulu futhi wenza umsebenzi omangalisayo nsuku zonke. Abantu bokuletha izimpahla baphinde babe nobubele kakhulu futhi i-curry ye-vegan ne-rice yayimnandi kakhulu futhi ibhakiwe. Sazizwa siphephile ehhotela. Siyawuthanda igym esikuyo esiyisebenzisile kabili. Umbono we-Indian Ocean wawuwumqondo omuhle kakhulu engiwake waba nawo egym! Siyawuthanda i-day spa esiyisebenzisile kanye ngemuva kwe-Comrades Marathon, sithokozisa imasaji emangalisayo yehlombe nekhanda. Abamasaji bethu babenobuchule obuphezulu futhi babenobubele. Iphuli yayihle kakhulu ukuyibuka kodwa asizange siyisebenzise njengoba yayibanda kakhulu... ngempela sizobuyela. Iqiniso lokuthi i-park run ye-North Beach yayiseceleni komgwaqo bekuyinhle kakhulu. Sazizwa sithokozile ngempela. Siphinde sathokozisa ukudla kwe-buffet ehhotela ngemuva kwe-Comrades Marathon futhi ngoba sobabili sinesicoco... bekubiza kancane. Abasebenzi babephumelelayo kithi ngaleso sikhathi sokudla... kungenzeka ukuthi babebona ukuthi sikhathazekile. Uhambo lwe-airport shuttle olubuyela e-Durban airport bekuyinhle kakhulu futhi lusebenza kahle. Sihlele lokhu kalula nge-shop esikuyo ehhotela. Owesifazane osishayelayo ukuya e-airport wayengumuntu opholile kakhulu futhi enolwazi. Izinto ezinhle ngaleli hhotela ziqinisekile ukuthi zidlula izinkinga ezincane esahlangabezana nazo. Ngicabange ukuthi ngibhukhe i-airport shuttle ukusuka e-Durban airport ukuya ehhotela njengoba sifika sekuhlwa. Ngithumele i-imeyili ehhotela njengoba bekuceliwe ngemininingwane yokundiza. Angizange ngiqonde ukuthi kufanele ngigcwalise ifomu futhi. Akekho owafika ukusithatha ngakho saphuma sisenza lokho esakhuluma ukuthi singakwenzi e-Durban futhi sathola usizo nomuntu osebenza e-airport. Ubonakale engumuntu opholile futhi osiza kakhulu futhi walinda izinsuku ezimbalwa ngaphambi kokuthi sikwazi ukumkhokhela njengoba singenayo imali. Lo muntu wabasiza kakhulu njengoba bekungekho ama-Uber noma amabhasi ngaleso sikhathi sobusuku futhi angikwazanga ukufonela ngaphandle ngefoni yami noma ngifonela ehhotela. Ngasekuseni, bekungekho zinketho ze-vegan ze-yogurt futhi ngangidinga ukufuna ubisi lwe-soy + ibhotela le-vegan nsuku zonke okwakubonakala kudala izinkinga kubasebenzi. Ngiphinde ngadinga ukufuna inketho yobisi lwe-vegan efasiteleni lami nsuku zonke futhi insizakalo yokuletha izimpahla yayidinga ukuyiletha okwakuhlala kubonakala kungajabulisi. Bekungekho izikhwama ze-vegan efasiteleni, kodwa bekunama-biscuit uma ungengomuntu we-vegan. Bekunok leaking ngaphansi kwesinki e-bathroom. Bekunendawo evulekile eceleni kwefasiteleni evumela umoya ukuthi ungene okwenza kube noisy kakhulu ngobusuku obunye lapho bekukhona umoya omkhulu. Omunye wabantu abasebenzayo (ekupheleni kokuhlala kwethu) ekuseni wayengakabi nobubele. Sazizwa sithukile ngokuqondisa futhi sathanda uma lokho bekungaba yinkinga ngoba asikhokhi. Lokhu bekuyiphutha lethu futhi sizothola ulwazi ngamasiko nezilindelo zokubeka imali emuva kokuvakasha kwethu okulandelayo. Ngobusuku obunye ngacela i-spaghetti enesosi ye-napolitana kusuka ensizakalweni yokuletha izimpahla futhi ngacacisa ukuthi angifuni ushizi njengoba ngingumuntu we-vegan. Nokho, ukudla kwami kwafika kwegcwele ushizi. Ngakhipha ushizi futhi ngakudla noma kunjalo 😊.

Indawo yeHhotela, ukuhlanzeka, igumbi elikhululekile kanye nabasebenzi beRestauranti abaqeqeshiwe nabasebenza kahle abaqinisekisa ukuthi imenyu ihlangabezana nezidingo zawo wonke umuntu futhi ukudla bekukahle. Abasebenzi behhotela babepholile futhi beqeqeshiwe. Nokho, angizange ngithande ukuthi abaphakeli babengekho kalula eFoyer yeHhotela (ngaphandle) futhi babengekho ngempela bephakela usizo ngempahla.

Noma ukuhlanzeka kanye namagumbi bekulungele, ukunganeliseki kwavela lapho bekufanele sime emigqeni emide ukuze sithole ukudla kwasekuseni kanye nokudla kwasemini? Ngaphezu kwalokho, nibheke umphakathi wamaSulumane ngesikhathi sokudla kwasekuseni ngokugcina ukudla okungahambisani ne-halaal kude, kodwa lokhu akusasebenzi. Ngikhulume nabapheki mayelana nalolu daba futhi wayengaphatheki kahle ngalo. Ngiphinde ngakhuluma nomphathi we-fnb ophakeme mayelana nokudla okungahambisani ne-halaal okwakugcinwa phakathi kwe-veggie ne-chicken, okwakhe wathi bazokubheka. Kodwa akukho lutho olwenziwayo ohambweni lwami lwesibili lapho. Kufanele kube nohlelo olwakhiwe ukuze wonke umuntu ajabulele ukudla kwasekuseni ngaphandle kokuma emigqeni emide futhi nokudla okungahambisani ne-halaal kugcinwe kude. Angizokweluleka le hhotela kunoma ubani wami noma emndenini. Ngiyadumala.
