Bus to Johannesburg

As my days in Cape Town srink. I am to get ready for my cross country bus trip. 18 hours. I leave Cape Town at 5.30 pm 3rd july and arrive in Jo'burg at 1.30 pm on the 4th the next day.
Luckily my backpakers is only a few blocks from the Bus Station. Rush hour is just getting to it's peak. I appreciate the crowd of commuters as I walk down the hill with my ever so heavy luggage bags.

Upon getting to the bus I had to buy another ticket. My visa I payed with is an older card.
The journey on the bus was a non-enent. It took a few stops at the occasional gas station where I bought a beverage and chips.
Several movies were played onboard the bus. Each movie had the volume turned up. I found it a little disturbing. I didn't arrive in J'burg until 4pm. A 23 hour bus ride.

We eventually made it to Johannesburg. the Station is in a slighty risky area.

My night in Johannesburg was spent at a freinds home near Rosebank. I got a ride to the airport on the 5th july for my flight up to Kenya. Ivery much appreciated the ride. I was driven past Nelson Mandela's present home.
