By a stroke of luck, this time I meet my two ladies, Maggi and Anita, already on the bus to Port Elizabeth. And as luck would have it, we have reserved in the same hostel.
Therefore, we also spend the following days together. We explore the city together, eat out, and meet locals.
The next day, one of them invites us to a very special tour. He is a pastor and is involved with his church in the poor neighborhoods of the city. To show his community and supporters where the money goes, he takes some of them with him. And we are allowed to join as well.
It feels strange to be chauffeured around in a bus. But the people were informed beforehand that we would be coming and they are very excited. People stand on every corner and wave at us. We have many nice conversations and get a small glimpse into life under very simple conditions.
