I-Cruise iPharadesi lasePolynesia laseFrance
I-Tahiti ehamba ngesivinini nezinye iziqhingi ezingu-118 eFrench Polynesia yiholide lokuphumula kwabahambi. Ngangihamba ngomkhumbi ngisuka eTahiti ngo-2000, ngivakashele i-Society Islands of Bora Bora, Moorea, eRaiatea, noHuahine. Kodwa-ke, iFrench Polynesia ihlanganisa ingxenye enkulu yeSouth Pacific, eneziqhingi ezinhlanu zeziqhingi ezisakazwe endaweni enkulu njengeYurophu noma empumalanga ye-United States. Ngayinye yalezi zinqolobane ezinhlanu zibukeka obuhlukile nezici eziyingqayizivele.
Njengabavakashi abaningi kule paradesi elishisayo, ngashiya isifunda esifuna ukubona nokufunda okuningi ngale ngxenye yomhlaba. Phela, kwakukhona iziqhingi ezingaphezu kuka-100 nezinkulungwane zamakhilomitha aseNingizimu Pacific ezizohlola!
I-Aranui ukuhamba ngesikebhe iyisinqumo esiphelele kulabo abafuna ukuvakashela iziqhingi ezingaphansi kwezokuvakasha futhi bafuna ukuhlangabezana nokuphila komuntu ohamba ngesikebhe. Mina nomyeni wami sahamba nge-Aranui 3 ehlobo ka-2003, kanti ngo-2015 kwaba ngonyaka odlule lo mkhumbi othakazelisayo wagijima ngendlela eya eMarquesas. Kodwa-ke, iMarquesas isadinga imishini, futhi umkhumbi omusha ususe esikhundleni se-Aranui 3.
I-Aranui 5 - I-Freighter entsha Yabagibeli Ngo-2016
Kusukela ngo-2016, i-Aranui 5, umzila wendlalifa eyakhelwe ngokwezifiso, ithatha indlela yokunikezela. Lo mkhumbi omusha uthwala izivakashi ezingama-254 kanye namathani wezimpahla. Izithombe ze-Aranui entsha 5 zibukeka zikanokusho kakhulu (ikakhulukazi amakamelo), kodwa ukuhambela okuhambelanayo nokuhamba ngesikebhe kubheka okufanayo (ngithemba).
Okuhlangenwe nakho kwe-Aranui - Ingabe Uzoyithanda Umqhubi Wama Cruise?
Uma unomoya ovusa amadlingozi futhi ungesihambi ohambile, uzothanda isipiliyoni se-Aranui. Kodwa-ke, kubalulekile ukulungisa okulindelweyo futhi ukhumbule ukuthi i-Aranui 3 ingumqhubi womkhumbi, hhayi umkhumbi ohamba phambili. Nakuba i-Aranui inezici eziningi zemikhumbi yemikhumbi yemikhumbi, lo mkhumbi uhlukile.
Abagibeli e-Aranui French Polynesia cruise kusuka eTahiti kuya eMarquesas bazothola izici ezenza kubonakale njengomkhumbi wemikhumbi efana ne -
- amakhabishi ahlanzekile anezikhukhula ezinamandla kanye nokugcina okuningi
- ukudla okuhle okusetshenziselwa isitayela somndeni
- amawayini etafuleni eFulentshi adla ukudla kwasemini nasekudleni
- echibini lokubhukuda kanye nezihlalo eziningi zokuhlala
- isherishi yamahhala nesomiso yokusetshenziswa komgibeli
- izinkulumo ezithakazelisayo ezivela ochwepheshe abanolwazi neziqondiso
- igumbi lokuzivocavoca ngamabhayisikili kanye nokuhamba ngezinyawo
- ama-sunset vistas amahle, iziphepho eziqabulayo, kanye nenjabulo yokuhamba
Abagibeli abahamba ngesikebhe ePolynesia e-Aranui ngeke bathole lezi zindawo "ezijwayelekile" zokuhamba ngezinyawo -
- izindlu ezivame ukugibela nezitebhisi
- ukudla okunokudla okunezinhlobonhlobo zokukhethwa kukho konke ukudla
- isimiso sanyatheliswa nsuku zonke noma i-newsletter echaza izenzakalo zosuku olulandelayo
- ukuphumula ukuzijabulisa
- ubusuku obungakahleleki noma obusemthethweni - ubusuku bonke buyinto engavamile
- imisebenzi ehleliwe yebhodi efana nebhingo
- i-spa noma ubuhle salon
Ama-Aranui 3 aqala ePapeete, eTahiti izikhathi ezingu-16 ngonyaka, ehamba ngezinsuku ezingu-16 uhambo ngalunye oluya kude, eziqhingini ezisenyakatho yeFrance Polynesia, eMarquesas . Umkhumbi uvame ukuhamba ngesivinini "isikhathi esithile emva kuka-6: 00 ntambama", okusho ukuthi abagibeli abaningi bazolala ebusuku eTahiti ngaphambi kokujoyina umkhumbi ntambama ngosuku lokuqala.
Emgwaqweni, umkhumbi uhambela iziqhingi ezimbili esiqhingini saseTuamotu ngokusungula isiqhingi saseTapapoto ngasenyakatho nasogwini lolwandle eFakarava eningizimu ebuyela ePapeete, eTahiti. Uhambo lunezinsuku ezintathu zasolwandle, usuku lokuqala, usuku lwesithathu, nosuku olulandelayo ukuya kokugcina. Uma kungenjalo, umkhumbi wenza ukutholakala kwawo kume ezindaweni eziningi eziqhingini eziyisithupha ezinkulu eMarquesas - Ua Pou, Nuku Hiva, eHiva Oa, eFatu Hiva, e-Ua Huka naseTahuata. I-Aranui ivame ukuhambisa izimpahla ezingaphezu komunye umuzi noma idolobhana esiqhingini ngasinye, ngakho-ke abagibeli bathola ithuba lokubona kalula iMarquesas kunanoma yimuphi omunye umkhumbi noma ohambo oluzimele lwama-archipelago.
Ake siqale sibheke usuku lwamazi olusendulo e-Aranui.

Isikhathi Esolwandle E-Aranui 3 I-Freighter Yabagibeli
Njengoba abagibeli abaningi e-Aranui isiFulentshi sePolynesia besuka eYurophu noma emaMelika, abantu abaningi bevuka futhi ekuseni kakhulu ngenxa yokwahlukana kwesikhathi. (Amahora amathathu ukusuka eTahiti kuya eLos Angeles, ayisithupha kuya empumalanga ye-US, futhi eyishumi nambili eParis.) Sivame ukuba nezinto ezintathu kuphela ezihleliwe ezinsukwini zasolwandle - isethulo somfundisi wesimenywa, umhlangano wehora we-cocktail ukuze uxoxe ngemisebenzi yosuku olulandelayo , nokudla.
Ukuphela kosuku kwakukhululekile ukufunda, ukushona, ukubhukuda echibini, ukulala, noma ukuphumula nokujabulela imibono yaseNingizimu Pacific.
Usuku lwaqala ngesidlo sasekuseni se-buffet sasebenza kusukela ngo-6: 30 kuya ku-8: 30 ekuseni ekuseni. Abaningi bethu bahlala ngesidlo sasekuseni, bejabulela usuku olwandle olunemicimbi embalwa ehleliwe. Ngezinye izikhathi lapho sisolwandle kwakubonakala sengathi sisuka kwesinye isidlo siya kwesinye, ngesikhatsi esimnandi sokujabulela ukuhamba phakathi kwezinkathi zokudla! Ukudla kwakusizwa emini, kulandelwa isikhathi esiningi samahhala. Njengoba sonke sasiphuza iwayini elidliwayo ngesidlo sasemini futhi sithande umkhumbi wokugwedla nokuhamba kancane, ngivame ukuthoma nge-ntambama.
Ukufunda NgamaMarquesas Nabantu BaseSouth Pacific Islands
Ezinsukwini zethu zasolwandle, sasinenhlanhla ngokwanele yokuba nomfundisi wesimenywa, uDkt. Charlie Love, owasifundisa futhi wasikhathalela ngolwazi mayelana ne-geology, ukuvubukulwa kwezinto zakudala kanye ne-anthropology yaseNingizimu Pacific.
Nakuba uCharlie ayevela e-Wyoming kanye nesazi esaziwa kakhulu e-Easter Island kude empumalanga yeTahiti neMarquesas, wayekwazi kakhulu ngeFrench Polynesia.
I-Aranui 3 nayo yayinezinhlelo ezine ezinezilimi eziningi (uSylvie, Vi, uMichael, noDiDi) nomqondisi we-cruise (uFrancis) owasixoxela usuku ngaphambi kohambo ngalunye olwandle futhi ehola ukuhamba kwamanqamu.
Imikhombandlela yaba nomhlangano weqembu kusihlwa kusihlwa (6:00 izikhulumi zesiNgisi kanye no-6:30 kulabo abakhuluma isiFulentshi), esasetshenziselwa ukuxoxa ngemisebenzi ngosuku olulandelayo. Kusukela cishe wonke ama-excursions angasogwini ahlanganisiwe ekuhambeni, wonke umuntu wenza imisebenzi efanayo emanzini. I-Aranui ayinaso isimiso sokunyatheliswa nsuku zonke, ngakho sathatha iphepha nopeni emhlanganweni wesimanje futhi senza amanothi.
UMichael wayenezindaba ezinhle eNingizimu Pacific, futhi uzochitha imizuzu engu-10-15 ekhuluma ngesihloko esifanele njengoKaputeni Bligh, uMutiny eBounty, Pitcairn Island, uPaul Gauguin, umnotho wasePolynesia, umlando, inkolo noma imfundo. Kwakukhanyisa kakhulu, futhi sabuya ekhaya sifunda kangcono kunesikhathi esishiya.
Ukudla kwakusihlwa ngo-7: 00 futhi kuvame ukululalwa amahora ambalwa. Abagibeli babeyiqembu elihlukene, elifundisiwe, elihamba kahle. Lokhu kwenza izikhathi zokudla zithakazelise ngokukhethekile, nezingxoxo ezivusa amadlingozi.
Ngezinye izikhathi ebusuku ebusuku iqembu elincane elithokozisayo echibini kanye nebhasi lokudoba. Ngobunye ubusuku sathola ingxoxo ethakazelisayo kakhulu mayelana "Nezici ZaseMarquesan Culture" eholwa nguCharlie Love kanye namaprofesa amathathu abebehamba ngezinsuku ezimbalwa eMarquesas. Iningi lezingxoxo zazigxile ekudakeni kwezinkulumo zendabuko emhlabeni jikelele njengamaMarquesan.
Babuye baphikisana nezinzuzo nezingozi zokuthonya kweFrance ezikoleni zasePolynesia. Abagibeli abaningana bangena engxoxweni, okwenza ubusuku obuvuselelayo, obuhlakaniphile.
Enye into ebambe iqhaza kusihlwa esithakazelisayo. Njengoba abagibeli abaningi kanye nabaprofesa ababili bebekhuluma kahle ngesiFulentshi, konke kwakufanele kuhunyushwe. Nakuba lezi ziqondiso zaziyizilimi eziningi, akekho kubo owayekhululekile ukuhumusha isiFulentshi esiNgisi. Ngakho omunye wabagibeli baseBelgium, owavele esebenza njengomhumushi we-European Union eBrussels, "wabhala" ngenjabulo ukwenza isiFulentshi ngesiNgisi. Wenza umsebenzi omuhle kodwa wasitshela kamuva ukuthi kwakuyisikhathi sokuqala ukuhumusha into into ngaphandle kweFulentshi. Yilokho obiza ngokuthi iholide elisebenzayo!
Ukufunda, ukuzilibazisa nokudla. Isikhathi olwandle sasibonakala sengathi sihamba noma sihamba ngokukhazimulayo. Ukuphila olwandle kwakujabulisa.
Ake sihlolisise i-Aranui 3.
Page 3>> Amakamelo ase-Aranui 3>>
Sasimangaze kakhulu ngamakamelo okugibela umgibeli we-Aranui 3. Ngaphandle kwamathani amaningi wempahla, umkhumbi onamamitha angu-386 ungabamba abagibeli abangu-200 emagumbini amane. Zonke lezi zinkampani zimoya.
Ama-Cabin Style Style e-Aranui 3
Amakolishi asezingeni eliphansi kakhulu yiClass C, enezinkampani ezintathu ezilungiselelwe isitayela sokugqoka, ezinezingxenye ezingu-20 ezingaphezulu nangaphezulu kanye nokugeza okuhlanganyelwe.
Ngokuvamile, ngicabanga ukuthi ikolishi yeClass C yayizokhangisa kwabashayeli abangashadile noma amaqembu amancane esabelomali, abangani bobulili obufanayo. Kodwa-ke, lapho sihamba khona, umbhangqwana waseFrance onabantwana abahlanu wasebenzisa elinye lamakamelo okulala. Kwakungcono kubo!
Ama-Cabins ajwayelekile ku-Aranui 3
Uhlobo oluphakeme kakhulu lwekhabishi yiSigaba Standard Standard, yilokho mina nomyeni wami uRonnie sinawo. Amashumi ayisishiyagalolunye nantathu emakolishi awela kulesi sigaba, futhi wonke angaphandle kwamakherishi anezinsika ezimbili eziphansi kanye nokugeza okuzimele. Lezi zinsuku zibukeka njengezinga eliyisisekelo esiphansi emikhumbi eminingi yokudoba, ene-porthole emkhatsini wemibhede emibili, itafula lebusuku, idesksi elincane ne-closet, nokugeza okugeza. Ugesi ungama-volt angu-220, nge-plug ye-French-style, ngakho-ke uzodinga i-converter ye-voltage kanye ne-adapter ipulaki ukuze usebenzise izinto ezingu-110-volt. Abesifazane kufanele bahlole i-voltage emisebeni yabo yezinwele kanye nensimbi yokukhanda ngaphambi kokushiya ekhaya. Izinwele eziningi ezintsha ezintsha zingasebenza ku-voltage, futhi kungenzeka nje udinga i-adapter, kodwa hhayi i-converter yamandla.
Ukucindezela kwamanzi eshahleni kwakungcono kakhulu, kepha saxelwa ukuba singaphuzi amanzi esitsheni sokugezela. Sasibeka amanzi ebhodlela endlini yokugezela futhi sasihambisa nje emagalasi epulasitiki okwakunikezwa. Umkhumbi ngamunye wawunomthombo wokuphuza futhi saqhubeka sigcwalisa amabhodlela ethu amanzi lapho. Abagibeli bangase bathe ukuthatha ibha enkulu yesepha yabo oyintandokazi kusukela i-Aranui 3 inikeza kuphela lezo zinsuku ezincane zehhotela.
Amakamelo ayishumi nesishiyagalolunye emagumbini asezingeni elijwayelekile ayesendlini enkulu yokwamukela, okuyiyona ndawo lapho ugibela khona amathenda. Abagibeli emgodini omkhulu bangabuyela ekamelweni labo ngenxa yezinto ezikhohliwe kalula futhi bebesondele ekamelweni lokudlela kanye nokuphumula ezindaweni ezingaphezulu. Zonke izingqimba ezijwayelekile zise-A Deck ne-B Deck. Mina noRonnie sasisekhoneni eliphansi kunazo zonke, futhi emva nje kwesikhashana elwandle, saqala ukubhekisela ekamelweni lethu njengekhamera yokushisa. I-porthole yayingamamitha ambalwa kuphela ngaphezu kwamanzi, ngakho-ke ngenkathi sihamba ngomkhumbi sasihlala sithola isenzo sokunyakaza, kufana nokushayela okuphambili. Uma ujwayele ukudoba amanzi, i-cabin e-B Deck nakanjani ihamba kahle. Ngempela sithole lapho sasijabulela khona umsindo wamagagasi egijima ngokumelene ne-porthole. Njengoba umkhumbi wawunezibani zangaphandle ebusuku, sivame ukubona inhlanzi ibhukuda nxazonke nje ngamasentimitha ambalwa ngaphandle kwe-porthole lapho sisekelwe. Ukugeza kwalabagibeli kwakunguB deck, njengoba kwakunjalo igumbi lokufaneleka.
Deluxe Cabins kanye Suites kwi-Aranui 3
I-Aranui inamakamelo angu-12 e-Deluxe nama-suite ayishumi, okuyizindawo zokuhlala ezihamba phambili emkhunjini. Lezi zigaba ezimbili zikhulu kakhulu futhi zinombhede omkhulukazi, isitsha esiqandisini, i-TV, indlu yokugezela ne-tub kanye neshayela inhlanganisela, namafasitela amakhulu kunokuba nje i-porthole.
Ama-suites nawo anomabhobho. Lezi cabins zihamba kangcono kune-stateroom ejwayelekile, futhi uma uthanda ikamelo elibhekisiwe njengami, uzolilahleka kulolu hambo uma ungayibhali inkampani. Amakamelo nama-suites ase-Deluxe akhiwe ngaphezu kwebhokisi eliyinhloko kwi-Star ne-Sun Deck. Uzothola isinyathelo esingaphezulu sokuvunguza kulawa makhabishi, ngakho-ke kuyisimo esihlabayo sokuthi ngabe ufuna izilwandle ezinwabuzelayo ukulala ekubukeleni kokubukwa kwe-nicer kanye nebhaluni! Amanye ama-suites anebhokisi elibheke echibini kanye nendawo engasemuva yomkhumbi, amanye atholakala kunoma yikuphi noma i-starboard side.
Ake sihlole wonke ama-Aranui 3.

Izindawo Ezivamile E-Aranui 3
I-Aranui 3 yasePolynesia ihamba ngesikebhe inezindawo ezithile ezivamile zomkhumbi ofana nomkhumbi wezingqamuzana nabanye okufana nomuntu ohamba phambili. Bonke abagibeli bajabulele ngempela ukukhululeka okumele sikwazi ukugibela umkhumbi, ukutholakala kwebhuloho nezinye izindawo akuvunyelwe ngaso sonke isikhathi emkhunjini wendabuko wemikhumbi.
I-Aranui 3 inekamelo lokudlela elilodwa, namathebula asetshelwe amaqembu amane kuya kwesishiyagalombili.
Umkhumbi unendawo yokulala enhle ngaphezu kwegumbi lokudlela, elisetshenziselwa ukufunda, izinkulumo, nemihlangano yabagibeli. Indlu yokuphumula inesibha nekhofi kanye netiye itholakalayo isikhathi esiningi kanye nelabhulali encane eduze kwendawo yokuphumula.
Umtapo wezincwadi unenhlanganisela yezincwadi ezihlukahlukene ze-paperback, eziningi zazo ezishiywe ngabagibeli abedlule. Ngabona izincwadi zesiNgisi, isiFulentshi nesiJalimane, ngakho-ke noma ubani ofisa ukwenza olunye ulimi lokufunda ulimi lwangaphandle unemfundiso eqanjiwe okumele uyikhethe. Ideskithophu yokumamukela nayo ibuye ikhethe kakhulu izincwadi ezihlobene neFrench Polynesia, noma ngababhali abanjengoHerman Melville noRobert Louis Stevenson abanamalungu eSouth Pacific.
Umkhumbi unesitolo esincane sesipho esithengisa konke kusuka kokudla okulula kanye ne-ayisikhilimu ukuhlanza izingubo zokugcoba kanye nomswakama ukufakela ama-pareos kanye nama-t-shirts. I-Aranui inesibha esiseduze nedamu. Kwakuvame ukumatasa ntambama ngaphambi kokudla kwasekuseni lapho wonke umuntu ehlangana ukuze abheke ukukhanga kwansuku zonke kwelanga elihle kakhulu.
Ibhuku lokubhukuda liyingcosana, kodwa lithandwa ngabagibeli. Indawo engasondelene nayo echibini inezihlalo eziningi zokuphumula kulabo abathanda ukucwilisa ilanga laseTahiti. Abantwana abasemkhunjini babe negumbi lokudlala elincane endlini.
Uphi i-Freight kulesi Freighter?
Impahla iqhutshwa phambili emkhunjini womkhumbi kanye nemithwalo yempahla ephethe ngaphansi kwezingodo.
Esikhathini esiningi, abagibeli bakhululekile ukuhlola kuze kufike emnsalini noma emasimini angemuva lapho ama-winches asetshenziselwa ukudonsa umkhumbi abe yi-dock. Omunye wabanjiniyela wasinika ukuvakasha okuthakazelisayo ngelinye ilanga ngenkathi sisechwebeni, futhi abagibeli abaningi bavakashela ibhuloho ukuze bahlole indawo yethu noma babone ukuthi izilawuli zasebenza kanjani. Ukubuka abalwandle baseMarquesan ukulayisha imithwalo yempahla kwakungenye yemisebenzi yethu eyintandokazi. Njengoba i-Aranui iyisixhumanisi esiyinhloko seMarquesas, umkhumbi unomthwalo wempahla ehlukahlukene, okufaka okungenani isigamu sezimoto ezingu-12 ngalunye uhambo ngalunye. Ngabuza enye yezinduna zezimpahla ukuthi yayiyiphi impahla engavamile kakhulu futhi ebiza kakhulu, futhi ngokushesha yathi yayiyi-helicopter! Umkhumbi wawuneziqukathi ezifrijini ezigcwele ukudla, futhi sasimangalisa njalo izinto ezazibonakala ziphuma ngaphandle kwempahla.
Ukudlela ku-Aranui 3
Sasijabulela kakhulu ukudla kanye nokudla ekudleni kwi-Aranui 3. Ukudla kwasekuseni kwakuyisidlo sethu esiyintandokazi, esinezitsha ezimnandi ezigcwele izithelo ezintsha, isinkwa saseFrance, inyama yezinkuni kanye noshizi. Abagibeli bangathola futhi ubhekeni namaqanda ukuze bahleleke. Ngangijabulela kakhulu ama-mango nama-pomelos, izithelo ezinamagilebhisi.
I-Aranui yayinekhono elihle kakhulu lokupheka, futhi yenza ama-pastries omnandi noma omnandi we-chocolate noma ama-croissants we-buttery ekuseni. Isidlo sakusihlwa kanye nesidlo ekamelweni lokudlela kwakuyisitayela somndeni, nabasebenzi abalindile beletha ipuleti enkulu yokukhonza ngeklasi ngalinye noma bakhonza abagibeli ngabanye. Kokubili kokudla kwaqala ngesaladi, isobho, noma isikhalazo, kulandelwa inkambo eyinhloko bese i-dessert. Zombili iwayini elibomvu nelomhlophe laseFrance lithengiswa ngesidlo sasemini nakudla.
Ukudla kwakuhlukile, nenkukhu, ingulube, inyama yenkomo, inhlanzi, kanye newundlu ezazikhishwa ngezidlo ezahlukene. Ama-Vegetarians angacela ukudla okukhethekile. Ngokungafani nomkhumbi omkhulu wokuhamba, sasingenakho ukudla noma ukudla okulula okutholakala ngaso sonke isikhathi. Ukudla kwaseYurophu kwakuphethe amamenyu ebhodini ngamasoso enesithakazelo nama-dessert okumnandi afana nephayi eliphakathi kwe-apricot tarts, ne-nougat enamafutha okhilimu omningi nesithelo esomisiwe.
Masishiye i-Aranui siye emanzini.
Page 5>> Ukuhamba E-Ashore kusukela ku-Ananui 3>>
I-Aranui yasendleleni eya eFrench Polynesia yayinhlobonhlobo futhi yayijabulisayo. Njalo kusihlwa sasinomhlangano omfushane endlini yokulala ukuze sixoxe ngemisebenzi yosuku olulandelayo. Amapulazi kanye nezikhathi bonke babezishintsha, kuye ngokuthi imithwalo nempahla. Ngezinye izikhathi sasihamba kancane emadolobheni amancane lapho kuthunyelwa khona impahla kuphela.
Sasivame ukuhamba emanzini angama-whaleboats ngokushesha ngemva kokudla kwasekuseni. Umkhumbi wawunezikebhe ezimbili ezibekwe ngabalinganiselwa abangaba ngu-20 ngamunye, ngakho-ke kwakuthatha izinyathelo eziningana ukuhamba ngesikebhe sonke.
Ngenxa yamagagasi nezintaba ezincane noma ezingekho eziqhingini, ukuthatha i-whaleboat ngasogwini futhi emuva e-Aranui kungaba "isipiliyoni" ngempela. I-gangway inezitebhisi ezincane futhi i-whaleboat inezinhlangothi eziphakeme, ngakho sonke sazisa usizo lwabasolwandle baseMarquesan ekungeneni nasezikhungweni.
Lapho sisesogwini, sabingelwa izakhamuzi ezithandekayo zesiqhingi ezinamabhulozi we-plumeria noma i-leis e-flower ehamba phambili. Ukufika kwe-Aranui kanye ngenyanga inyanga enkulu kubahlali besiqhingi. Indawo yokudoba yayihlala iqhutshwa ngamaloli, amashikashiki, kanye nabantu abalinde ukulayisha izinto. Abanye babelindele ukulayisha amasaka abo e-copra noma emiphongolweni ye-noni juice, izinto ezimbili eziyinhloko ezithathwe eziqhingini yi-Aranui. Izakhamuzi eziningi zakhiwa indawo encane yokuthengisa yezandla. Kwakudingeka siqiniseke ukuthi sinezimali eziningi zemali zendawo - amaFrancis asePacific - ukusebenzisa ukuthenga izethulo. Umkhumbi wawungashintsha amadola noma ama-euro, futhi iningi leziqhingi kwakunebhange elingashintsha futhi imali.
Asikaze sibone umthengisi owathatha amakhadi esikweletu, kodwa abanye abathengisi bangathatha amadola noma i-euro uma ungenayo imali yangakini.
Eziqhingini ezine, sasinesidlo sakusihlwa saseMarquesan esikuyo endaweni yokudlela yasendaweni. Ukudla kwakunikezwa i-buffet noma isitayela somndeni, futhi sineDancing yasePolynesia nomculo ukuhamba nesidlo sethu.
Sonke sasijabulela ukuzama ukudla kokudla. Isithelo sesinkwa yisisisekelo esibalulekile sokudla kwamaMarquesan, futhi sasimangazwa ngezindlela eziningi ezahlukahlukene. Ezinye izitsha zendabuko zazihlanganisa i-lobster, i-poisson cru (inhlanzi eluhlaza ehlanjululwa ngamanisi noma iviniga bese ikhonza ngobisi lwekakhukhunathi, amafutha, kanye no-anyanisi), imfucumfucu yamanzi, imbuzi, ingulube ne-popoi (isitayela samaMarquesan).
Ezinye izinsuku ezine sasiba nebheyi noma ipikinikini elwandle elungiswe ngabasebenzi bezimkhumbi, mhlawumbe ephakeme ezintabeni noma ebhishi.
Akuwona wonke umsebenzi ohlangothini olwandle ohilelekile ekudleni. Ngezinye izikhathi sasithinta isonto lamaKatolika, futhi eziningi zazo zaziyizithombe ezithakazelisayo noma izithombe ezenziwe ngamapulangwe. Sasivame ukuhamba noma ukugibela amaloli ama-4-wheel drive kuma-maraes asePolynesia yasendulo noma kwezinye izindawo zokuvubukula. Amaphakheji ambalwa afaka ithuba lokubhukuda noma ukudoba. Iqembu lethu elizihambelayo labuye lahambela iminyuziyamu namathuna, futhi abanye abagibeli bagibela amahhashi noma bahamba ngemoto.
Sasizizwa sengathi imisebenzi yasogwini yayihlukile ngokwanele kunoma ubani. Uma uthayipha ukuhamba kwezilwandle ngezindawo ezingenakulinganiswa, ezihle kakhulu eziqhingini zaseTuamotu naseMarquesas, lenza iholide elihle kakhulu lokuvakashela umuntu ohamba phambili, oguquguqukayo, ongadingi okuningi kokuncintisana noma izinsiza.
Sashiya ekhaya sinomuzwa wokuzijabulisa kanye nesifiso sokuhamba ngesikebhe esithwala abantu abaya eziqhingini ezide kakhulu. Sabuya ekhaya sinokwaziswa okusha ngabantu neziqhingi zaseFrench Polynesia kanye nezinye izindaba ezinhle zokuphila kumuntu ohamba ngesikebhe. Yini ongayicela?
