The journey started well, the van (a very nice one!) left the airport a little bit late, but that was fine. But then everything started to go not so well. We were taken to a different van (a much worse van) that was 5/10 minutes away from the airport. After a lot of confusion regarding who had already paid or not, we starter the jorney properly… only to stop 5 minutes later at a shopping mall parking place so that the driver could get a grocery bag from some random lady (and when he opened the trunk door to put his bag, several of the passanger bags fell to the ground…).
Then, after almost half an hour the journey finally started! The ride was rough (but that’s the way it is with the roads we were on), but the driver was clearly speeding, which didn’t help and did not give us any confidence. We only stoped once for a bathroom brake (only 1h30 before arriving at the final destination) but stoped several times for who knows what and we weren’t allowed to (or weren’t informed if we could) leave the van.
Bottom line, we manage to get to our destination 6h after the initial start and it was cheap, but get ready for a rough and unpleasent trip
