The bus we took from GrahamsTown was changed in east London. And we were not even allowed to go buy something to eat at windmill. And the bus they exchanged us in was smelling.

First the bus was supposed to pick me at 11:10 am. It arrived at 17:00pm. When we got to King Williams town we were dropped there in a taxi because the bus was not going to Mthatha. We slept in a taxi because the money was not paid to the taxi. I have not been paid the extra money I used from King Williams town because I had to use my own money to get to Mthatha
