It was a very nice Sunday excursion with the vintage bus. Unfortunately it was rainy the whole day. But we sat well on the bus. The bus driver also told us a lot about the beautiful old bus. The travel companion was very open-minded and nice, but we found that she told too much and too quickly. That was just too much input that you can't take in.
