Eurolines kann tötlich sein

Traveling with Eurolines is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get…
In October I faced the rats, in December I faced the cold, what is it gonna be next?
And when you’re not fighting rats in a dirty parking lot at Karlsruhe Hauptbahnof Süd or fighting the cold for 2.5 hours at the same location, waiting for a connection, you still have to deal with nasty bus drivers. I think the driver from my last trip would have been at home in India where he would have been king of the road. His shouting “wir haben 30 minuten Verspätung” whilst ragingly stepping on the gas definitely reminded me of a trip between Dharamsala and Delhi. Especially the part about narrowly avoiding a crash when leaving the bus stop.

Believe me, I will definitely make true on my earlier promise to cycle between France and Germany next time, instead of taking the bus.
