This trip to South Africa is part of an International Social Work class offered through the Florida State University. I plan to use this as a journal of my experiences, for all to see and for me to remember!

Back to Durban

The 2+ hour trip back, might have been uneventful had it not been for one girl. She calmly came to the front of the bus to ask if there would be a bathroom stop. She was told that we hadn’t planned on it, but that if we needed on we would stop in about 25 minutes. She smiled and thanked him and returned to her set. Not two minutes later, she came back up front to ask if there was some place closer to stop. She was told that there wasn’t, but that we could pull over if she really needed. She smiled and thanked him and returned to her seat. Again, within a couple of minutes, she was back up front telling all that she couldn’t wait and needed to stop. When told that it would only be 10 minutes or so, she said she would try, but this time, she decided to stay standing in hopes that would help. It didn’t. Within a minute or two, the bus pulled along the side of the South African highway for a 21 year old, American women to pee.
