Good trip. On time. The bad thing was that we could not use the upper compartment for the luggage and we could not trip as comfortable as we should have.

It was a nice and calm ride, the seats where super comfortable and the staff was really nice. We had some stops on the way and one bigger break to get some food or drinks.
