The bus was 45 minutes late at Pietermaritzburg where I boarded but was pleasantly surprised when no stops were made at Pinetown and Durban which meant my arrival Port Shepstone was at a reasonable hour.

The drive was very stressful as the driver always made wrong turns throughout the journey, that is the reason for our late arrival

Bus was over an hour late due to a breakdown. It happens I guess. The driver tried to make up time. It was a pleasant trip over all.
