There was nothing to enjoy, got on the bus at Malelane and it didn’t stop for a single break until Pretoria.. a good 7 hours without stretching our legs or getting something to eat. There were babies in there that needed to be changed etc.

The bus had a problem with the air conditioner but it took them 3 hours to replace the bus. Instead of living at 14h45 we left Pretoria at 18h00. That was very bad. No toilet paper in the bathroom.
