Adriana left us in
the morning and then there were two.
Ashish and I
decided to explore Bo-Kaap, a historically Malay district of Cape Town. The houses that line its steep streets are
awash with a brilliant rainbow of colors. Except, for the most part, the colors aren’t
primary. They reminded me of the tropical skittles—magenta, cyan, tangerine,
lime…it was cheering just to be in the presence of such bold statements!
When I handed my
bus ticked to the attendent some hours later, he gave me an admonishing look
regarding my 1.5 hour layover and said:
“Why the hell did you buy this ticket if
you are connecting to Botswana? Something always goes wrong.”
Oh, man.
After 21 hours on
the sleepliner, a completely smooth connection in Joburg (I'll have that gentleman know), and seven more hours
on the mainliner, they kicked us off the bus to cross the border by foot.
Very exciting!
More stamps for my passport!
Love from the Intercape
bus.
Adventure galore!
