We got on an earlier bus, which was possible. The driver was very friendly. The seats were ok, but the leather has become slippery. As we were early, we could see a lot of the countryside on the way.

Awful, but absolutely not the fault of the company. Several accidents on the road ahead of us caused huge traffic jams so we were delayed by 4 hours.
