Think carefully about your wardrobe. \u0026quot;Bring more clothes, so you can always change and feel comfortable. Bus overcomes some 6000 km, there are large temperature changes. For example, in Paris - 35 ° C, Spain - 20, and then in Luxembourg - 12. Even in summer sometimes require a jacket and a sweater \u0026quot;- recommends A. Astakhov. Take a few pairs of comfortable shoes in case you have to wet or natrete feet, and practical clothes: jeans, one or two sweaters, a few shirts.
\u0026quot;Universal option - a fresh white shirt. It can be worn on field trips, and\u0026quot; Moulin Rouge \u0026quot;- you\u0026#39;ll look quite as Europeans. Clothes and shoes on his heels is better not to take - a traveler in them look ridiculous. Take the pants, jeans, jacket, a beautiful scarf \u0026quot;- advises M. Fomintsev. You will also need an umbrella, slippers for the bus, an inflatable pillow under his head, even if you choose to tour without night crossings. Come in handy blanket to hide in the bus - there is an air conditioned and cool, especially at night. And, of course, do not forget the documents and a camera.
From the food you can take with products that are long are: tea, coffee, chocolate, cookies and nuts. Is very convenient convenience foods: The bus makes stops at bars and cafes - you can brew soup or porridge. To bring meat and dairy products does not make sense - all the same to you will select the entry to the EU. In principle you can do no food with them not to drag and eat at fast food - lunch costs about 7-15 euros.
Be mutually polite!
Bus travel, as mentioned above, has its own specifics. First, this group sightseeing tour. Secondly, the salon on time becomes your second home. Therefore you need to know how to behave, to avoid stupid conflicts. For example, many surprises requirement to use the bus toilet only in emergencies or for changing clothes. In fact, there is no malicious intent. First, the bio-toilet designed for a maximum of 40 visits, then it must be emptied, but the plum is not at all points of Europe. Secondly, he soon begins to impart an unpleasant odor. Mass toilet provided at the stops that the bus has to do every three and a half, four hours (in some rounds interval reduced to two or three hours). Duration sanitary stops - about 20 minutes, lunch break - about 40 minutes.
A lot of disputes arise because of the coffee makers: Tourists often complain that they did not have enough hot water. \u0026quot;Bus - this is not a field kitchen,\u0026quot; - observes A. Astakhov. \u0026quot;Tea is designed to drink coffee and tea, but do not brew soups and take a shower ... during long journeys, we offer two tea and coffee. Those who drank more frequently need to carry a thermos, all stops are free to pour boiling water , have a meal. The capacity of a boiler - five liters, or roughly half a cup of tea or coffee for everyone. If someone will prepare a liter mug of soup, enough for five people, someone wash his hands - for one person, \u0026quot;- explains the general director of Transtour voyage \u0026quot;D. Fomintsev.
In general, if you use the coffee maker by appointment, no problem. And: kettle can be used only at the stops, with the permission of the driver. \u0026quot;During the movement can not walk through the cabin and poured tea-coffee: if the bus braked abruptly, you can douse himself with water boiling or neighbor. We in Europe are increasingly stricter rules of the road. I think the next step is equipping buses with safety belts,\u0026quot; - says M . Fomintsev.
So the travelers themselves sometimes create artificial difficulties and then complain that the bus trips did not live up to expectations. Although, of course, its success depends also on how fully the company fulfills its obligations. You absolutely must provide maps of cities, which will be held excursions. \u0026quot;In the scheme of tourists note the location of objects, the route of the pedestrian excursions, bus parking lot. If someone has lost his way, he could simply show the card, and he will explain how to pass\u0026quot; - remarked M. Fomintsev. In addition, the proctor must inform Trust your telephone number on which they will be able to call in an emergency.
