Another shot of the front lounge, this one a little more typical look. As you can see, life goes on as we head on down the highway. Although I don’t get to experience it much, there is a definite skill involved when moving around on a moving bus. I’ve been told that 30-mph showers can be an interesting experience.
Sometimes making breakfast involves it raining breakfast cereal, but tht's a whole other story... Let’s put it to you this way: when the stewardess on the airlines says that your bags in the overhead bins may have shifted in flight, she aint kidding! Just so you know whenever you get around to living on a bus, all cabinets should be opened with caution!
Here everyone has a personal drawer for storage. Everyone’s idea of what goes in their drawer is different. Personally I have a decent amount of books and other junk, and not a huge amount of clothes. Other put so many clothes in their drawer they can’t even close it. On the top shelf everyone can put a duffel for clothes, and under the drawers is a large space for instrument storage.
The bunks. All the single folk have a bunk to sleep on. In it are A/C vents, a reading light, and an outlet. They’re about 2 feet tall, about 2 and a half feet wide, and just slighty shorter than I am, although most people don’t have that problem. For my first two and a half years on the road I had the upper bunk on the right of this image, but this time around I’m on the bottom on the left.
