OzBus: Too Drunk to Remember
From the prospective of one of the OzBus bloggers, the first London-Sydney overland bus journey is nothing more than a mobile drunkfest, bouncing through country after country, sampling the local drinks until vomiting, and pissing off the local wait staff.Surely not everyone aboard OzBus #1 is going out for early-morning bar times, visiting strip clubs, campsite streaking, and nightclub line-hopping. I wonder how that other half -- you know, the people traveling on the bus to actually travel, not to test their alcohol tolerance in various parts of the world -- feel about their heady-bro counterparts? I'd be mad.
The bus is currently in Romania, where the intrepid
Twelve weeks on a bus with this crew? No thanks.

Things looked to have moved on since 2007. The trips are a huge success with the travellers. Checkout their blogs and make your own mind up. http://www.oz-bus.com/blogs.aspx The trips sound just great!

Are you kidding? Have you ever been on an overlander? These people LIVE for this stuff. This is part of the adventure. Now imagine being completely hung over and rattling through Romania's roads. Good times.

As a fellow Ozbus traveller I can assure anyone reading the blog that 100% of the coach are happy with the way things are going e.g. visiting bars as well as seeing the sites. There is no point in going on an overlander with 38 strangers if you don't get to know them and what better way to do it!

So i take it you have travelled the world and never drank anywhere, for you to sit in the comfort of your home and slate the way 39 people enjoy their well earned money is sad. Could you not afford the trip or were you to slow to buy a ticket? I personally think you just don't have the guts to take on a trip of that magnitude. To venture through 20 country's on a bus with strangers is not easy, leaving behind friends, family, loved ones and last of course the necessities like showers,beds, power and the usual daily gadgets you don't even realise you need.
Stay at home and write some more crap on the web for our amusements, or grow some balls and get out the house and go travel somewhere.

Heaven help me, they are still doing it. I used to live in Iran working as an Instructor Pilot to the Iranian Army. These adventures used to come through Isfahan and staff at the local camp ground. It was alsways party times. Lots of women traveling, not in buses but in trucks with canvas seats in the back under a canvas top. Sort of like a rolling oven, they had to drink. An adventure of a lifetime. Now going through Iran could be dicey.

OzBus is a glorified package tour. Whatever you say it isn't travelling. When these people reazh Oz they will drone on about the countries they have 'done' when in fact they've done sod all but sit in bars or a bus for a couple of months. Adventure? How about leaving the planning at home and organise your journey one stage at a time on the go yourselves guys?
