Uhambo lwase-Switzerland lufika kuqala ezindlebeni, hhayi emehlweni. Ekuseni e-Zurich Lake, inkungu injengobisi olungakanywanga oluntanta phezu kwamanzi, isikebhe singakahambi, amapulangwe esikhumulweni avele athi kliki kancane ngaphansi kwezicathulo. Kude isitimela somgwaqo sidlula ibhuloho, amasondo ensimbi acindezela umzila, ekhipha umsindo ohlanzekile wokuhlikihla; izinkomishi nezitsha zekhofi zishayisana, umsindo mncane kuhle kwengathi zesaba ukunyakazisa ichibi. I-Switzerland ayithule, imane ibeka yonke imisindo endaweni yayo efanele, okwenza umuntu aze afike ephansi anciphise ivolomu.

Ngashintsha isitimela esiteshini esikhulu sase-Zurich ngiya e-Bern, izikhangiso zesiteshi ngesiJalimane, ngesiFulentshi, bese kuba ngesiNtaliyane nangesiNgisi. Izilimi ezine akuzona amalebula anemibala ezincwadini zokuvakasha, kodwa zivela ngempela emoyeni zishintshana. Umnyango westimela uvaleka, umphetho wenjoloba uthi "phuu," ushiye umsindo wedolobha ngaphandle. Ngaphandle kwewindi, izindunduma zotshani, amachibi namadolobhana kunqanyulwe ngezikhathi eziqondile, umhloli wamathikithi uyeza, izinyathelo zakhe zizinzile njenge-metronome.

Idolobha elidala lase-Bern lifana newashi elazi ukukhala kakhulu. Isitimela somgwaqo sidlula ngasemakhothaneni, ekujikeni kwenzeka umsindo omude wokuhlikihla, umfula i-Aare ngaphansi kwebhuloho uphakamisa umsindo, bese uwubuyisela ezitheni zesihlabathi. I-Zytglogge Tower ikhala, umsindo wokuthatha izithombe wezivakashi umiswa isigamu sesigqi; bese kuba izinsimbi zamabhayisikili, izitsha, ukuhleka kwezingane ezijaha ibhola kuphinde kusabalale. Ngabona ijezi leqembu lase-Switzerland ewindini lesitolo, lowo mbala obomvu mnyama wawungesona esokugubha esikhanyayo, kodwa ufana nombala ophahleni lwase-Bern othe xii emva kwemvula, uzinzile, uzibambile, kodwa kulukhuni ukuwunaka.

Umsindo wase-Interlaken uqala ukukhula phezulu. Isitimela sisondela esigodini, umsindo wamasondo ubuyiselwa yizindonga zamadwala, kuhle kwengathi uhlezi endlini yemidlalo yemvelo. Ekupheleni kwensimu kukhona abantu abalungiselela ama-paraglider, indwangu yeparachute ivulwa umoya, kuqale kube umsindo wokushikizana othi "sisi," bese kuba izikhonkwane ezithi kliki, umqeqeshi ememeza umyalelo omfushane, umuntu womile usephephulwa umoya wasentabeni. Izivakashi ezingezansi zibuka phezulu, azikamemezi, zizwa nje izintambo zeparachute zisika umoya zibe yimigqa emincane. Ukubukeka kwendawo lapha kulula ukuthi kuthathwe njengesithombe sekhadi, kodwa okumisa umuntu ngempela, umsindo wepharachute esuka phansi ngaleso sikhathi.

Isitimela sasekuseni esiya e-Jungfrau kuhle kwengathi sithatha izindlebe zomuntu wedolobha sizikhuphulela phezulu. Isitimela esinamazinyo sibambelele entabeni, umzila namagiya kwenza umsindo wokubambana; ngaphambi kokungena emgodini, impempe yesitimela ikhala kafushane, kuhle kwengathi ikhumbuza wonke umuntu ukuthi ukukhuphuka kubalulekile. Efika e-Jungfraujoch, umoya uphephetha phezu kweqhwa, umsindo mncane futhi uyabanda, wonke umuntu ekhuluma ehlisa izwi ngokuzenzakalelayo. Into enomsindo omkhulu e-Jungfraujoch akukona ukumemeza, kodwa ukuphefumula kwakho, kanye nomsindo wokungahambi kahle kweziphu sejazi esele ziqandisiwe.

Amadlelo ase-Alps engeza esinye isigaba somculo e-Switzerland. Izinsimbi zezinkomo zisuka kude, eziphansi zifana nezigubhu zokhuni, eziphezulu zifana nezinkomishi zegilasi ezishayisanayo; endlini encane yoshizi, imbiza yethusi inyakaziswa kancane ngesipuni sokhuni, ukushisa kwenza iwindi libe namafu. Izingane eceleni komgwaqo zikhahlela ibhola, ibhola lishaya ocingweni lokhuni liphindele emuva. Ngaleso sikhathi ngaqonda ukuthi kungani iqembu lesizwe lase-Switzerland linomoya ongasheshi ongemuhle: akukhona ukuthi alinayo inkanuko, kodwa lijwayele ukuqala ukulalela isikhala. Isivikelo, ukudlulisa, ukubuyisela emuva, bese kuphinde kuqhutshwe, njengezinsimbi zezinkomo emthambekeni, ukude nokusondele kwehlukene, kodwa konke kusemthambekeni owodwa.

Isitimela i-Glacier siyisingxenye yomsindo ophansi we-Switzerland. Kusukela e-Zermatt kuya empumalanga, isitimela singena emgodini siphinde sigibele ibhuloho eliphakeme, amawindi efaka izihosha, izigodi nomugqa weqhwa phambi kwamehlo ngokulandelana. Amasondo edlula esihlanganisweni, umsindo awumsindo, kodwa kuhle kwengathi kukhona umuntu oshaya isigubhu esikhulu ngaphakathi kwentaba; izinkomishi emotweni yokudlela zishayisana kancane, abagibeli bayamisa ukukhuluma ngokuzenzakelayo. Izitimela zase-Switzerland zivame ukunconywa ngokunemba, kodwa ukuhlala esitimeleni i-Glacier lapho uqonda khona ukuthi ukunemba kungaba nomuzwa ojulile. Kwenza indawo ingabi ngukuhluka kokuphakama emephini, kodwa kube ngumzila ongazwiwa ngumzimba.

Uma kukhulunywa nge-Nati, kulukhuni ukweqa u-Granit Xhaka. Ngaphandle bavame ukumbhala njengomdlali wasesiswini oqinile, kodwa ohambweni lwase-Switzerland ngicabanga ngaye, ngicabange nge-Basel nokuhlangana kwesifunda sase-Switzerland esikhuluma isiJalimane. UXhaka wazalelwa e-Basel, indaba yomndeni yakhe ixhuma ne-Balkan, umsebenzi wakhe walungiswa ngokwesiko lebhola laseJalimane; kuye akukona ubunikazi obubodwa, kodwa yinhlanganisela yeqiniso yase-Switzerland. I-Switzerland inezindawo ezine zezilimi ezisemthethweni: isiJalimane, isiFulentshi, isiNtaliyane, nesi-Romansh, futhi iqembu lesizwe alikaze libe yiqembu lomsindo owodwa. Imvelaphi yamagama, amadolobha okukhulela, izindawo zokuthutha kwemindeni nezilimi zenkundla kuyahlangana, ekugcineni kube ukudluliswa kwebhola okunqamulelayo ngaphansi kwesiphambano esibomvu esimhlophe.

Lapho liya, kuhle kwengathi lihlela imigqa, amashidi okushintsha namabanga amaqhinga, bese limema umdlalo ukuthi uqale. Ezivakashini nakho kunjalo: i-Switzerland ayikwamukeli ngomsindo, isebenzisa izitimela ezifika ngesikhathi, izimpawu ezicacile, izinsimbi zethempeli ezisechibini kanye nomsindo omkhulu wezitimela zasentabeni, ukukwenza kancane ukholelwe ukuthi wamukelwe. Akuyona izwe elisingatha, kodwa liyakwazi ukwamukela izivakashi; akubona abalandeli abanamsindo omkhulu, kodwa lingenza inkundla yezivakashi ibe yisigqi salo.

Ngaphambi kokuhamba, ngaphinde ngabuyela e-Zurich Lake. Inkungu yayisinciphile, ichibi liveza isiliva, abagijimi basekuseni badlula eduze kwami, izicathulo zihlikihla amatshe.
