Travel time..

Heyyy!!!!! Sorry for the hiatus!!
So the chance to travel around the world is gorgeous, the actual travel time..not so gorge.
Example: We left Cape Town on a double decker bus, and 7 hours later, 2 horrifically bad movies, 2 delectable peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and salt and vinagar chips later we were in a town called Wilderness, and our guest house Fairy Knowe Backpackers. This spot was perfect, and we had the best time..I will tall all about it later..more on travel time. After 4 days of rest, we were back on another double decker bus for another 7 hours, this time no movie just a sporting event broadcast being blasted into our ear drums from the speakers, 2 more peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and a bag of the best salt and vinagaer chips ever and we were in Port Elizabath. After having to battle with the cab driver who wanted to charge us double the price!!.. we made it to our hostel called Base Camp (once again more later} We stayed there only 1 night, and the next day we had to go to the train station to catch our 20 hour ride to Johanasburg. This was on a sleeper car, and we had the room to ourselvces, which is good, but 20 HOURS??!!!! Ughh.. once off the train we then had to find a bus company going to pretoria as we were not going to stay in the most crime ridden city that Jo-berg is. We luckily found a bus line that had a bus leaving basically right that moment, and hopped on. This is only after 2 other bus lines had told us the next ride out was many hours away, and I was begining to feel devistated. After what seemed an easy hour on our last double decker bus we arrove in Pretoria. I finally got to have a cup f coffee at the station before getting in a cab for a 20 min ride to ouyr hostel. We are now here for 3 days total, and then on a 9 hour plane ride to India!!!!!!
As I said getting to do this is wonderful..its just all this getting from here to there..and being on a budget, since we are going as cheap as possible from place to place.
