Read on if you are making your mind to land at Johannesburg :-) Found some slightly fast & reasonable [price wise] connections for you from Johannesburg to Cape Town = i) http://www.intercape.co.za/tickets/book-now/ , ii) http://www.southafrica.to/bookings-buses.php Buses looks comfortable from outside look ^_^ = http://www.intercape.co.za/travel-information/our-vehicles/ , Also check if the price includes free meal/dinner/refreshments. Lastly, don't forget to bring cocoa powder & Cocoa chocolates for me from South Africa. ;-) >> > >> _______________________________________________ >> Debconf-discuss mailing list >> Debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org >> http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss > _______________________________________________ > Debconf-discuss mailing list > Debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org > http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss _______________________________________________ Debconf-discuss mailing list Debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss
