I did not enjoy anything. I didn’t enjoy the lateness of the bus with no communication whatsoever, the bus was an hour and 30 minutes late, when it finally arrived I was rushed I couldn’t even look for my seat properly cause the bus was already moving. There was a horrible toilet smell. There was cockroaches. Worst experience overall
