We stopped at Pietermaritzberg for about an hour waiting for the mechanic to fix wipers. We left again 2km’s they broke again so we had now to wait for another bus so it was bad, I’m still on the road even now but I was supposed to arrive at 11:50. Another thing the bus was very cold so I didn’t enjoy at all.
