Very cold, difficult to sleep. The temperature should be 20 centigrade, it's a bus not a beer cooler .

Exellent. On time, even got there 2hrs earlier. Only issue was the AC. I read about it and got on the bus with a pile and long gymsuit. Yet, I froze. I suggest bringing a whole blanket, like locals do.
