Make arrangements early. And, have a backup plan.
I’ve been responsible for arranging our transportation across Africa. My overall gameplan has been to follow the rail and bus network to Nairobi. Of course, there have been snags along the way.
Right now, I’m sitting comfortably at a backpackers in Johannesburg. I wanted to leave yesterday for Botswana. I really wanted to leave today. But, after contacting the only backpackers in Gaborone, we decided to leave on Sunday.
This threw off all our transportation arrangements. And, now, there is no regular bus service available. We’re stuck in Jozi.
I expected these kinds of snafus. Presumably, this is the first of many— I needed to vent.
