Reckless driving on the A1 road

Last week I traveled a 484km journey from Gaborone to Francistown that lasted three and half hours.   The bus left Gaborone just after 11 AM, moving at a speed that gave hope of arriving well within the prescribed hours. Just before Artesia, the bus had a breakdown to the disappointment of the passengers.

It began as a joke as I pulled my heavily loaded suitcase along the road, hopelessly hoping to find transport considering that I was in a hurry to get to my final destination. Suddenly a Toyota Hilux VVT-I came to a halt just in front of the swarming crowd lining the road. The driver got out untying the Toney cover for hikers going to Francistown.
