Everything OK, the aeroplane was early and the bus driver let us take an earler trip than booked for.

The bus driver did not let me in because the bus was already full. He was selling tickets at the bus station and sold more than he should. He told me to wait for another bus so I did. The driver of the second bus did not let me in because the ticket was "expired". I feel scammed, lost 5 euro and lot of time.

Bus was no problem to get on with my tickets on my phone, there was air conditioning, and I’m glad I took a bus to get up that long winding road!
