Trip was OK, however there was a breakdown in communication when the bus driver from Durban explained that there had to be change of busses in Pietermaritzburg, which was later postponed to happen in Harrismith, &just after transfered 2 luggage bags &going to grab some food from the shop in Montrose, the other bus took off with the bags &he had to followed where his bus was finally met along Heilderburg! Unnecessary stress from all the anxiety about bags being in another bus!
