My trip was so not good. Just outside port shepston we had a traumatic experience but I won't get into details, we had to turn back to port shepston and after a very long time we continued with the journey. We stopped at Kokstad for refreshments only to be told that the bus had no power and the mechanic was called to check the problem. We sat there for almost 3 hours. All in all I arrived 6 hours later than the estimated time of arrival.
