Was entertaining when T-bo took a pic of you sleeping cornmorphs and then you woke when the flash went off.

By the way, who decides how long we stay in each break ?

I might be in the minority so that's why I haven't complaint, and I'm not writting this to moan, just to try and understand human nature.

I have big troubles sleeping on buses, so a trip like this is torture for me. in a trip like this every minute counts, because the quicker it goes the quicker I'll get to my bed.

So it does quietly pisses me off that sometimes you don't understand what's going on, and you sit on the bus for bloody ages while IMO you should have been on our way a lot earlier.

I'll give you an example. On the way back we stopped at a petrol station to buy food, etc. IMO 20 minutes would be more than enough for everyone to go get food, toilet, stretch the legs, have a fag, load up and set off.

But instead we stayed there for nearly an hour which was where we missed the train back

We stayed there for at least 50 minutes per my counting, and 50 minutes would be enough for me to have a proper dinner, go to the toilet, have a shower, brush my teeth, smoke 5 fags (if I smoked) and run 10 laps around the coach

my review- hamm was awesome... cheers for organising it all guys ... i had a wicked time.

unfortunatly the male cb viper gecko(teratelopsis fasciata) i got out there didnt make it back sad... but i guess its just one of those things with shipping animals? maybe just a bit to much for the little guy? ... my other purchase a gargoyle gecko (rhacodactylus auriculatus) was fine and is already eating and seems very well.

once again, cheers for the trip! and i will be doing it again.

we left hamm about 20 mnutes late as someone had a siezure in the car park and a paramedic on one of our coaches was assisting

The break on the way back was planned as the drivers have to have a 45 minute break after a certain amount of driving. All breaks there and back are planned to keep within the driving regs that coach drivers have, that is why coach 2 had 4 drivers, the last two being those that took us across

Did you ee the q in the shop, that took 35 minutes to clear and yes if the paramedic left the poor bloke to have his siezure i am sure that we would have mad our crossing, but hay ho. I dont think youll find any medical proffesional that will walk away from a situation where they can be of help

Another thing dex...

We tell them 20 mins, then at 18 mins after the smoke, they 'just ' run for a wee, then buy some crisps.

then we have to ensure everyone is back on the coach.

I can promise you, if our driver had his way we wouldnt stop at all !!!
