It is 4 am and I hit the shower, place the last few items in
my bags and head into the city. The bus
will take us from the Waterfront all the way to the Northern Cape. One whole day of travel lies ahead and I look
forward to see the landscape change as we leave Cape Town, beautiful as it is,
behind. Cape Town is a jewel, but there
are many other parts of our country that is beautiful in their own way.
The bus is dark and before we leave the familiar city limits
half the occupants have resumed their interrupted sleep. When they awake we will be probably be
stopping to refuel and stretch our legs.
For this trip I brought some special equipment. Crochet starter kits, colouring pages and
card making goodies. I will have to see
if the phone addicted teens have any interest in these. Oh I did bring an adequate selection of books
also, Maths, Science, Biology, Tourism in a variety of grades. However, I have my suspicions that these will
not be given much attention.
Time will tell. For
now, I am going to let the darkness and rhythms of the bus lull me to sleep....
like the rest of the team around me.
