The first bus, 7:30, was cancelled. This bus involved a transfer 2/3 of the way. There were many stops along the way. The route took 9 hours of travel. Too long, especially when it was said to be 6-8h.

Long but comfortable jour. The roads were very ok, also seats and space in the bus. Very quiet passengers, no noise. Short stops - are very ok (no long breaks for lunch etc). More water would be great.
