During the "East, my sweet love..." tour
06/29/2019 - 07/06/2019, which was announced as a tour without night crossings - there were three such transfers and two of them were with ONE driver.
Objectively, it must be said that on the way to the border on 29.06. we got into an accident and it took more than 7 hours to document it. It took less time if the bus had a video recorder.
In Nesseber the bus was replaced for us. The bus was provided with one driver. It is clear that this increased our stay on the bus, and not on excursions, walks, etc. But it was not critical.
But on July 5, the transfer from Sofia to Bucharest (distance 370 km) took us 11.5 hours, which we spent almost all the time on the bus. Further details.
At 16 - 00 ended the tour in Sofia. That bus, which served us in Turkey-Greece-Bulgaria, was supposed to part with us in Sofia, and another one would arrive. But the new bus did not arrive in Sofia and we went to meet him in the direction of Burgas (not on the route). . More than an hour and a half we drove to the meeting point - 30 km from Sofia -. There we quickly (about 20 minutes) had a snack, waited for the bus. This new bus turned out to be the same bus that took us from Odessa, but with only ONE driver and a poorly working air conditioner. We reloaded our things and at 18-15 we went to Bucharest. We drove by some bypass roads through Velyka Kosice. At the same time, there was only one sanitary stop in the FIELD for about 15 minutes. There was no queue at the customs, its passage took a little more than half an hour. Arrived at the hotel at the beginning of the 4th
There is only one driver on the bus, who has been driving for more than 9 hours only with us. In Bucharest, the driver rested for only 4 hours and then began to load our things and repair the air conditioner. And then the road home, namely ONE driver for 33 hours with only one break for sleep - 4 hours and this can be normal ?!
About the little things - a malfunctioning air conditioner, a TV not working, a jamming door, the need to sometimes push the bus - a poorly functioning battery and accompanying Christina - explaining little, making inadequate decisions and threatening that she will leave the group unaccompanied
But I will emphasize the main thing - SAFETY, which the Accord-Tour completely ignores, directly violating laws and rules.
