Traveling from Cape Town to Durban via Bloemfontein with Intercape Mainliner Double Decker Bus.

Hello everyone, this is Ricardo Joyce, and in this video, I went back to Durban from Cape Town, but this time, I used the route via Bloemfontein. The trip took almost 26 hours, and I paid R1422.40 for food, the bus ticket, extra weight for the luggage, the InDrive ride from Stellenbosch to Cape Town and finally the earphones to listen to music on my phone. It was my first time visiting part of the Northern Cape. I spoke a little bit about the history of the places as I went along the journey. I know that the video is insanely long, but it was worth it. Note that the Toll Gate prices are increasing in 2026. Our refreshment stops were in Touwsrivier, Three Sisters, Bloemfontein, Ladybrand, and Swinburne. I spoke a bit about the history of: • Huguenot people at Huguenot Tunnel • Free State stadium history at Bloemfontein • Lesotho history and facts in Ladybrand • Improved freeway between Pietermaritzburg and Durban at Camperdown Links on previous bus rides: •    • Travelling from Stellenbosch to Durban wit...   •    • Traveling from Durban to Cape Town with In...   Sections including refreshment stops and toll plazas 0:00 📍 Stellenbosch 2:51 📍 Kuilsriver 7:00 📍 Cape Town Bus Station 12:51 📍 Bellville, Cape Town 13:25 📍 Paarl 14:45 📍 Huguenot Toll Plaza, Paarl 19:42 📍 Worcester 21:39 📍 Touwsrivier 23:16 📍 Three Sisters, Northern Cape 29:59 📍 Trompsburg, Free State 30:35 📍 Bloemfontein 40:20 📍 Botshabelo 44:24 📍 Ladybrand 50:07 📍 Swinburne 54:55 📍 Ladysmith, KwaZulu-Natal 57:18 📍 Bergville Toll Plaza, Bergville 59:50 📍 Estcourt 1:00:53 📍 Mooi River Toll Plaza, Mooiriver 1:01:50 📍 Pietermaritzburg 1:05:22 📍 Camperdown 1:07:49 📍 Marianhill Toll Plaza, Pinetown 1:08:17 📍 Durban
