Ukuhamba Esikhathini Esedlule
Uhambo luqala esikhungweni se-isivakashi ngokuhunyushwa ngokuthi 'Hamba ngokuhamba kwesikhathi', egcwele amapulethi abonisa izikhathi ezibalulekile ezivela eBang Bang ekuthuthukiseni abantu banamuhla. Lokhu kuthatha wena esikhungweni se-isivakashi, udlulele ohlakaniphile kakhulu sundial, emlonyeni wamapulangwe. Uma usuqede phansi izitebhisi, uzizwa sengathi ushiye ikhulu lama-21 ngemuva kwakho njengoba ufaka izwe elingaphelelwa isikhathi ledwala nokuthula.
Ukuvakasha kuthatha ukudlula eSelberberg Grotto lapho kutholakala khona ama-Little Foot - lokhu akuvulelekile emphakathini ngezizathu ezicacile - futhi kungena enhliziyweni yomhume. Uma usengaphakathi emkhathini upholile futhi usaqhubeka, kanti ikamelo elikhulu eliphakeme likhona namanje ama-rock formations formations aphumelele ukusinda emisebenzini yezimayini ezonakalisa ekuqaleni kwekhulu lama-20.
Uhambo luholela phambili echibini elingaphansi komhlaba, elimnyama futhi elimnyama kodwa liyesabeka kancane, ngoba lonke ubuhle balo. Futhi-ke ngokusebenzisa amakamelo ambalwa amancane kuze kube yilapho ekugcineni uvela, ngokudabukisayo, ubuyele ekukhanyeni kwelanga kanye nesimanje.
Ukuthuthuka emaphandleni kulula kakhulu ngezindlela ezinhle, imigwaqo yokuqondisa nokukhanyisa okufanele kuwo wonke. Kukhona isigaba esisodwa esifushane esidinga kancane sokudonsa (noma ukukhasaza, kuye ngokuthi kuhle kangakanani amadolo akho). Izicathulo ezinhle zokuhamba, i-jeans nezinye izinhlobo ze-windbreaker zinconywa ukuze uthole induduzo yakho.
Indawo Yezivakashi ze-Maropeng
Kuseduze naseSterkfontein Caves futhi kungahlanganiswa kalula nokuvakashela emaphandleni ohambo oluvuleka kakhulu ngosuku. Into engcono kakhulu ngeMaropeng yiklamo yayo. Eyakhelwe ukufana ne-Tumulus (noma isigundane sangasendulo sokungcwaba), isakhiwo sibonakala njengendaba ephansi futhi ihlanganiswe ngokuphelele ekukhuleni okunethezeka kohlaza obuluhlaza obuhlaza. Ngenxa yalokho, ihlangana ngokuzulazula emazweni angomakhelwane futhi ingumlingisi omangalisayo wendawo yokwakha yomdabu.
Isikhungo sisesimweni esiyinhloko se-Tumulus complex. Ukungena kunqunywa ku-hillock futhi, uma kungaphakathi ngaphakathi, ukunakwa ngemininingwane kuyinto emangalisayo. Yakhelwe eduze kwe-atrium ephakathi egijima kusukela ekugqibeni 'kwentaba' kuze kube phansi. I-staircase curves ezungeze ngaphandle kwe-atrium kanye nekhethini lamanzi asemanzini aphezu kwesithathu kwezitebhisi. Ezingeni lokuqala yiSitolo se-Tumulus esisebenzela ukudla okudliwayo kanye nokuhamba okuningi okuya kulabo abalamba iPalaeo-izivakashi.
I-terrace enkulu evulekile iyindawo yokuhlala kuyo njengoba inikeza imibono emangalisayo phezu kwezintaba, futhi indawo enhle yokuchitha intambama enobuqili. Ukukhangisa okuyinhloko kwezokuvakasha kwehla ngezitebhisi, esiteji esingaphansi, lapho uzothola khona ihholo lokubukisa eligcwele zonke izinhlobo zezikhathi zomlando. Ukuze ufinyelele ihholo, ungathatha i-'Ride Through Time '- ukuhamba ngepaki ehamba emfushane futhi engabonakali ngokuhamba uchungechunge lwama-fiber-glass rocks, izimpophoma ezilawulwa kude kanye nomusi wamakhemikhali okumele ubhekise ukwakheka kwe-primordial Umhlaba.
Kuyinto engafanelekile, okuphawulekayo kuphela ukukhishwa ngokuzumayo kwe-raft lapho wehla ibhande lokudlulisela emanzini, kodwa kancane kancane. Kuningi okumele kutholakale emlayezo kaMaropeng wokuthi sonke sifana ngokuhlukahluka kwethu. Futhi kunezimbonakaliso ezimbalwa zokubonisa kanye nezici zokuxhumana. Kodwa, sicela, ungangithinti nje izwi lami. Abanye abantu engiwakhulume ngicabanga ukuthi ihholo liyamangalisa futhi lizuzisa kakhulu, ngakho-ke vakashela uMaropeng uzinqume wena.
