The check in process in sants have to be quicker, we wait to much time in the bus. The second driver for the second part of the trip, dives to fast, gets clients a little bit worried ( i couldn fall asleep)

Sin cortinas al exterior. Asientos muy incomodos y una bocina de “camión” que sonaba dentro cada vez que llegabamos a una ciudad (2a.m/ 3a.m/ 4.30a.m)
