disappointing bus ride my wife and i met you along the way - in sapa - and should have asked you before we got on our sleeper bus which bus company you were with. the sleeper bus we were on with camel travel was really bad. they had beautiful pictures and all on a poster at the travel agency, but what we were given was nothing less than a cramped-up, mobile coolies' quarters. the toilet was really small and the lock couldn't be locked. their blankets probably had lots of mites and the pillows they provided was brown with age and dirt. pretty disgusting when the daylight came on and you could see what you had really paid for. also, they never alight at their stipulated stops. according to the agency we booked the bus at, they have offices where we should alight and confirm the next bus out, but more often than not, they stopped at their preferred hotels, probably getting commissions for every passenger who checked in with them. and these stops were usually far from where the bus office is. their excuse: roads are too small for big bus to stop. it's their story against your logical observations.
