My journey to the Mother City

The 1, 464 kilometres  road trip from Gaborone to the sea point took us approximately19 hours. It was my first trip to the Mother City and I did not have a passport. I did the unthinkable by applying for a passport on our planned departure day, Wednesday. I had to part with P520 to be issued with the passport on the same day.

We left Gaborone around 19:45 hours and planned to exit the country through the Pioneer border gate. While seated on the bus, I scanned around the bus to see if I recognised anyone, but unfortunately I was amongst strangers.
