Sunrises are generally a very tranquil moment to reflect on your life but when you watch two consecutive ones from the same bus seat they sort of lose their appeal. I needed to leave Burundi due to visa issues and I found a bus that took me from Bujumbura to Dar es Salam, the only catch was that it took 27 hours. I luckily got a seat at the back of the bus in the middle so I could put my legs down the aisle but that is where the luxury stopped. There were 5 seats in the back row with 7 people squeezed into them. For the next 27 hours I sweated in my seat but I eventually made it to my destination. $20 for a 1509 km bus ride, I think this is one time I should have shelled out for something a little nicer.
Foggy
I did a bus ride from Kampala to Dar thru Nairobi a few years back. It was such a horrible experience. The road had huge potholes, lots of accidents, and all other nuisance. I will never do such long bus drive again–however low the price is.
Yes I definitely feel you on that one but flying is just a little out of reach for me. Luckily I only have one long bus ride left in me here in Africa!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I truly appreciate
your efforts and I will be waiting for your further post
thanks once again.
