Njengoko usenokuba uqaphele, amanqaku eQantas Rewards ngoku kulula ukuwafumana, kufuneka ujonge nje isicelo sakho sekhadi letyala, i-inshurensi yezempilo nokunye. Kutheni? Kuba imbuyekezo yawo incinci kunangaphambili. Okwangoku akunakwenzeka ukuba ubhabhe udidi lweshishini ukusuka eMelbourne ukuya eYurophu usebenzisa amanqaku. Ngamaxesha onke, icandelo elide lokubhabha lelona didi lezoqoqosho, kwaye indlela ayithe ngqo. Ukukhuthazwa okukhulu kwamanqaku e-flyer rhoqo bubuqhetseba kuba ixabiso lawo alisekho.
Ndisandula ukuchitha iiveki ezimbalwa eKorea. Ukuba bekukho uphahla apho, ubuya kunxiba imaski, kwaye ama-95% abantu bebeya kunxiba imaski esitalatweni. Kuhlazisa kakhulu, ngoko ke bukela umdlalo wakutshanje weqela elineminyaka ephakathi elinobugovu elalivaleleke eSydney kwinqwelo moya kuba lifuna ukukhululwa. Bayifumene iminqweno yabo nasemva kokuba abanye abakhweli bebaxelele ukuba banxibe iimaski. Ndinethamsanqa lokuhlala emva kwabo ukuya eSingapore. Iikhonteyina ezingenanto zihlala zenza ingxolo enkulu.
Kuhambo olufutshane oluya eMelbourne, emva kokwehla kwitram, ndaqonda ukuba ndishiye ibhegi yam kunye ne-iPad yam esihlalweni. Ndakhwela itram elandelayo kwicala elifanayo ndaza ndaxelela umqhubi owathumela inkcazelo kwisiseko ngerediyo. Ndafowunela bonke abaqhubi kwaye kwimizuzu emihlanu ndaxelelwa ukuba imithwalo ingeniswe ngumkhweli. Umqhubi owabika ngesiganeko wandixelela ukuba ndilinde itram ibuye kwelinye icala. Undinike nenombolo yendlela kunye nenombolo yesithuthi ekufuneka ndizijonge. Yonke into yayinjengoko wayetshilo kwaye kwimizuzu eli-10 ibhegi yam yabuyiselwa kum. Enkosi kakhulu kubaqhubi beTram yaseMelbourne kunye nabakhweli abathembekileyo.
Iincwadi ezintathu zeTraveller Letters zangoMeyi 21 zithetha ngokugxekwa okusemthethweni kweQantas, ingakumbi ileta yale veki malunga nokungaphumeleli ukujonga nayiphi na imithwalo yabakhweli kwinqwelomoya eya eLondon yayimbi kakhulu. Ndingumsebenzi oziqhenyayo wangaphambili waseQantas kangangeminyaka engama-30, kwaye kwiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo kube buhlungu kakhulu ukufunda ngokusilela kwinkonzo yabathengi (uninzi lwangaphambi kweCOVID) njengoko kuvela kungekuphela nje kuluntu ngokubanzi, kodwa nakwicandelo leshishini lokhenketho elivela kubantu bonke. Ndinethemba elinyanisekileyo lokuba abaphathi beQantas baya kuthatha ezi gxeko baze babuyisele le nqwelo-moya intle 'kumoya wase-Australia' wokwenyani owawukuwo.
Ngokuthumela i-imeyile yakho, uyavumelana neMigqaliselo neMiqathango yeFairfax Media kunye noMgaqo-nkqubo waBucala.
Abanye bababhaleli bakho basandula ukukhalaza ngenkonzo yeQantas. Nasi ibali elihle: kwiiveki ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo besikwisikhululo seenqwelo-moya sasePerth silinde ukubuyela eMelbourne. Inqwelo-moya kwisango elilandelayo yayingafikanga ngexesha kwaye saqonda ukuba usapho lwabantu abathathu kuloo nqwelo-moya lwalunengxaki yokuziphatha kwabafana babo ababini. Njengoko ukucaphuka kwanda, omnye wabantwana wahlasela ilungu leqela labasebenzi baseQantas, elalihlala lizolile kwaye lilawulekile ngamaxesha onke. Ndachukumiseka yindlela abasebenzi basemhlabathini ababesisingatha ngayo esi simo sinzima kakhulu.
Ndiyayithanda ikholamu eqhubekayo kaLee Tulloch (Traveller, nge-14 kaMeyi). Elinye lamacebiso okuphatha iimpahla kukuzisela iimvulophu ezimbini okanye ezintathu ezineengubo ukuze ukwazi ukuzithumela izinto ngeposi. Asikaze sibe nengxaki yokufumana izigqubuthelo zemiqamelo yaseTurkey, iisweta zekheshmere, impahla entsha (okanye esele isetyenzisiwe) eSydney. Ukuthenga iimvulophu ezineengubo phesheya kolwandle kudla ngokuba nzima kakhulu, kodwa ukusebenzisa iposi kusoloko kuyinto emnandi yenkcubeko. Emva kweminyaka yokuhamba nzima okanye eyonwabisayo, ndisebenzisa iimpahla ezinemibala. Kunokuba yinto ekruqulayo, kodwa kuya kukwenza ube nombulelo ngokubuya ekhaya.
Umbhali wakho wephephandaba uLee Tulloch ubhala (ngokungathandabuzekiyo) ukuba akukho sizathu sokusebenzisa imithwalo ehlolwayo. Ndingathanda ukwahluka. Abantu abazisa imithwalo emininzi ekhabhathini bathatha indawo yabanye kwaye banokuthi bavale iindlela zokugcina, ukufikelela kunye nokubuyisa imithwalo. Abanye babo bafuna ukuba abasebenzi bathwale iingxowa zabo ezinkulu bazise ebhuthini. Imithwalo ethwalwayo kufuneka ilinganiselwe kwinto oyifunayo ngokwenene okanye ongenakukwazi ukuyijonga kwinqwelomoya yakho.
Ileta kaGlen op den Brou (Traveller Letters, nge-21 kaMeyi) ityhola abahambi baseYurophu ngokuyityeshela imfazwe yaseUkraine xa besiya eYurophu, nto leyo endididayo kwaye indimangalisileyo. Andazi ukuba ukungayi eYurophu kungamenza njani uPutin anciphise "umsebenzi wakhe okhethekileyo". Mhlawumbi angathanda ukuba singayivumeli iYurophu. Isikhundla sikaGlenn asikwazi nokuyiqonda intlungu ebangelwa kukuvalwa kokuhamba nge-COVID kubantu abaninzi baseYurophu ababiza i-Australia njengekhaya kwaye kufuneka baphile kunye nosapho lwabo lwaseYurophu. Ekuqaleni kobhubhane, utata waphulukana nobomi bakhe ngenxa ye-Covid-19 waza wabuyela eNetherlands okokuqala kwiminyaka emibini enesiqingatha; kokubini ukuhlonela utata wam ongasekhoyo kunye nokunceda ukubhiyozela usuku lokuzalwa lukamama lwama-90. Nangona ndicaphukile yimfazwe ehlazisayo elwiwa nguzwilakhe ohambayo nxamnye nesizwe esizimeleyo, andiboni indlela uhambo lwam oluye lwabahlazisa ngayo abantu baseUkraine - njengamawaka abantu bakowethu abagxile kwihlabathi elidala - ukubuyela kwidolophu yakowethu.
Isikhokelo sakho ekuphela kwaso eCorfu, eGrisi (Traveller, nge-21 kaMeyi) siphuthelwe sisakhiwo sembali esinomtsalane. Ndwendwela iMon Repos, indawo yokuzalwa kweNkosana uPhilip ongasekhoyo, iDuke yase-Edinburgh, umgama omfutshane ukusuka kwisixeko saseCorfu, phezu kweliwa elihle.
Inqaku loMhleli: Enkosi ngengcebiso, nangona ungayifumana ingxelo epheleleyo yeTraveller ngale nkalo inomdla yeCorfu apha, epapashwe ngaphambi kobhubhane.
Ihotele iApropos inendawo yokuhlala izinja nezinye izilwanyana (Traveller, nge-7 kaMeyi), kwaye emva kokutyelela eKhanada kwiminyaka embalwa eyadlulayo, bendingaqondi ukuba kutheni abakhenkethi befanele bazise izinja zabo. I-petotel yayakhiwe ngokuqinisekileyo ukuze izinja ze-mongrel zikwazi ukuphumla kubanini bazo.
Nanini na xa ndihamba, ndiphatha ii-pillowcases ezimbalwa ukuze ndifumane intuthuzelo, kwaye ngamanye amaxesha ndiphathe umqamelo wokulala ukuze ndibe noxolo lwengqondo. Ndakuba ndingenabasebenzi abaninzi, ndaqonda ukuba i-t-shirt yam eyongezelelweyo iya kuba lukhetho olufanelekileyo. Libala nge-P-slip, thatha enye i-T-shirt.
Inqaku loMhleli Singathanda ukuva kubafundi bethu ngezinye izinto abathanda ukuziphatha xa beseluhambeni ukuze bongeze intuthuzelo.
Ngokuphathelele ileta kaGreg Cornwell ethi “Oh Canada” (Iincwadi zohambo, nge-21 kaMeyi), nam ndisandula ukubuya phesheya kwaye kufuneka ndenze uvavanyo lwe-PCR ngaphambi kohambo lwenqwelomoya kunye novavanyo lwe-PCR xa ndifika. Nangona kunjalo, zonke iziphumo zifunyenwe kwaye zigcinwe kwifomathi yedijithali, ngoko andiqondi ukuba kutheni uGreg nomkakhe becelwa ukuba batshice ibhotile yonke imihla. Ngokuqinisekileyo baneziphumo efowunini? Basesekhompyutheni? Ngokuphathelele ifomu yokwazisa abakhweli nge-elektroniki yase-Australia, ibikho kangangeenyanga ezimbalwa kwaye inkampani yethu yeenqwelo-moya yandithumelela umyalezo malunga neveki ngaphambi kokuba sibuyele ekhaya isikhumbuza ukuba siyizalise kwi-intanethi okanye nge-app. Saxelelwa ngemiqobo, kwaye nangona bekungekho lula, bekumnandi ukukwazi ukuhamba kwakhona.
Kutshanje ndichithe iholide endandiyilindele kakhulu kwihotele ekude eNtshona Ostreliya, efikeleleka kuphela ngomoya okanye ngolwandle (ndihambe apho ngeMelbourne, eDarwin naseKununurra). Ngelishwa, xa ndisiya kwiiholide, ndafunyaniswa ndineCovid-19. Kufuneka ndithathwe ngenqwelo moya ukusuka ehotele ukuya eKununurra ngenqwelo moya ekhuselekileyo yeCOVID ngexabiso eliphambili le-$4810. Akukho inshorensi (yabucala, ikhadi letyala, i-inshorensi yezempilo) egubungela iindleko ezinxulumene neCOVID. Nangona iCOVID ixhaphake kangaka eOstreliya, ngaba amava anjalo okuhlala kude afanele umngcipheko?
Sibhekisa kwileta kaMichael Atkin ethi “Open the Door” (Tipometer, Meyi 29) kunye nobunzima bakhe bokufumana imbuyekezo evela kwi-gotogate.com, sisebenzise ukunxibelelana nesebe lekhadi letyala lebhanki yethu saza sadlula kwinkqubo yokufumana imali ngale ndlela. Ingxoxo yethu kukuba asizange sifumane iinkonzo esizihlawuleleyo. UGotogate uxoxe ngale nto, kodwa ibhanki isibuyisele imali. Ndikunqwenelela ithamsanqa, bahambi.
Enkosi kakhulu ngoncedo lwakho, izimvo, iingcebiso kunye nenkuthazo kweli phepha (iLonely Planet, isihloko seembasa zakho zeveki, yiBhayibhile yam yokuhamba kwaye ayindiphoxi). Nazi ezinye zeengcebiso zam zokuhamba endizithandayo: soloko ubhukisha indawo yokuhlala esembindini ukuze ukwazi ukubuya ngokulula emini okanye ebusuku; funda amagama asisiseko (intlonelo kunye nembeko) ngolwimi lwelizwe olityeleleyo; ziqhelanise nenqaku lenkcubeko; phatha idilesi kunye nenombolo yefowuni yehotele ohlala kuyo nawe.
Ndifunde kubahlobo abanengxaki yokufunda kwaye babhukisha kwi-intanethi kuphela kwiiarhente ezivunyiweyo zase-Australia. Ndihlala ndijonga i-atas.com.au ukuqinisekisa ukuba bayayifumana. Uya kukhuselwa ngumthetho wase-Australia malunga neekhredithi okanye ukubuyiselwa kwemali.
Ababhali beeleta zale veki baphumelele iincwadi zokuhamba zeHardy Grant ezixabisa ngaphezulu kwe-$100. NgoJuni, kuza kubakho uhambo olugqibeleleyo lwebhayisekile: i-Andrew Bain's Australia; uRomy Gill kwiHimalayan Trail; uMelissa Mylchreest kunye neRewilding Kids Australia.
I-Tip Writer yale veki iphumelele iseti yeencwadi ezintathu ezinkulu zokuhamba zeLonely Planet, kuquka i-Ultimate Australia Travel Checklist, iiTravel Books kunye ne-Armchair Explorers.
