the (not so) mild days – the end

Day 18 Woke up at the alarm clock before 3am. Not the longest sleep as you can imagine. There really wasn’t a lot of time. Most of the things were ready so it was mostly a matter of putting the very last things such as the pajamas into the bags, putting on outside clothes and leaving. The check-in process was done online the previous evening so I didn’t expect to need to do too much at the hotel entrance....

The first one in the comfort class, meaning I had a single seat towards the back, in the comfort class area which was separated by a curtain from the rest of the bus.

This would be the first time I’d use the Luxexpress busses and I was looking forward to the experience. This was the first of three Luxexpress busses I used. It’s also the only one of the three that didn’t offer the additional comfort class, meaning I was in a “regular” seat with someone else next to me.
