I have enjoyed the trip, your stuff was very friendly and tried their best to make us feel welcome, a gentle gave us few tips before we left JHB the dose and don'ts🤭 but in all honesty friendly.
The only challenge is recliner chairs that don't work, charging ports that need to be replaced, the air-conditioning really needs to be fixed,other than that, we had a safe journey.

Everything was good, till we were at the garage when 2ladies tried to open the bus where the luggage are kept, I was just standing enjoying my coffee , they went away when the driver came he shouted at me because I asked him if he can open for me to get my jacket, but I forgive him cause he didn't know who was trying to open.

It was the worse experience ever, the bus was late to pick us up, it was extremely hot as the aircon was not working the seat belt message kept going on, the bus had a bad smell, to top it all of we were 2 hours late on drop off, as the ticket said we would arrive at 5:35am however we arrived far after 7am, I missed a very important appointment. I am extremely dissatisfied. We did not even have a proper bathroom break on an almost 12 hour trip.

I was only satisfied that the bus was on time and gave us enough time for our break at Montrose. However the charging points weren't working 😕. I was sitting on top & there was no water to wash hands in the toilet. The taps were working.
