Saigon after tet
Big was my surprise when we were asked to take off our shoes at the doors of the bus. What is this? It is not polite to have our shoes on in the bus anymore? We were given plastic bags to put our shoes in. Once we got in the bus, it started to become…

The chaos of Phnom Penh
I guess entering any capital by bus on an afternoon is a disaster. Once again we suffered from Phnom Penh’s traffic. Arriving in the bus station 2 hours later than expected.

Visit to the blue city Jodhpur
To go to our next destination Jodhpur – the blue city of Rajashtan – we had booked a bus. It was 250 Rs per person for something like 5 hour drive (7h in reality). The ride was almost exactly what one would expect from a bus ride in India. First there was a big confusion…

On the way to Old Goa and Panjim by bus
We could not postpone this trip any further, so on Tuesday morning we had a good breakfast in Dunes cafe and then we went to find our way to the bus. We had enquired the staff of the reception several times about the stops, the busses, timings and prices. I am not sure if we…
