Bus from Prague to Wroclaw

See now I can't get enough of the blog.

As Simon mentioned in an earlier entry we were lucky enough to get two tickets for the 'apparently' over-booked bus from Prague to Wroclaw, Poland yesterday. As we boarded to bus destined for Minsk (that's nearly 24 hours on the bus) everything seemed to be normally enough. It wasn't exactly a luxurious bus, nor was it what we are used to in Canada and the UK, but it was nice enough (pic below after the trip). We got seats right up front with good leg room and were off just ten minutes behind schedule (not bad).

Little were we to know that the trip would end up being a six hour ride in a sauna. No air conditioning (which was fair enough) but no air circulation to speak of. It got to the point where we would come to a crawl going through small towns and they would open the door to the bus as we were moving just to get some fresh air in.

I have no idea how those who were heading to Minsk survived the trip but I imagine we'll experience similar or worse by the time we get to India.



PS I love Wroclaw and would recommend it to anybody and everybody! Thanks for the suggestion Jay!
