Здравствуйте!

I live in Sweden, but every summer I like to travel to Britain to visit my family and friends.

I hate flying, so last summer I decided that for a change I would travel by bus.

According to the brochure I received at the travel agency, the bus would leave Malmo at 9.30 on Friday evening and arrive in London the following Sunday at 7.30 in the morning.

The journey would involve taking the boat from Trelleborg in\on the south coast of Sweden to Travemunde in West Germany.

Then we would drive through Germany, Holland and Belgium before taking another boat in Ostend to Dover.

It sounded wonderful - at least in theory.

In fact, the journey was a nightmare from start to finish.

To begin with, I made the mistake of not reserving a berth between Trelleborg and Travemunde since it was quite impossible to sleep due to the combined singing of groups of drunk Germans and Swedes, each trying to outdo the other in terms of volume and vulgarity.

VadimVadim, 2022/08/22 22:27, 2022/08/23 14:08

Again, I had forgotten that you are not allowed to smoke inside Swedish buses, which made the journey with stops seem even longer than it was in reality.

It also meant that when we did eventually have a break I spent the whole time making up for the hours when I had not been able to smoke, with the result that I could not be bothered to waste valuable “smoking” time in queuing up for a meal.

VadimVadim, 2022/09/15 14:00, 2022/09/15 14:01

At the time we reached London I was a physical and mental wreck! I had not slept or eaten properly for almost thirty-six hours and all I wanted to do was sleep.
