You get picked up and dropped off at the door of your backpacker hostel. The *7 day or 14 day or 21 day* travel pass starts on the first day of your travel and is valid for 7 or 14 or 21 consecutive days. * An additional R70 Fuel Levy will be added to all ticket prices over R650.* trev -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Observatory Neighbourhood watch" group.
