Cons: Directions to the bus station were given but the bus did not actuslly stop there. Luckily another gentleman who was also travelling walked across to Roosterspin where a bus had stopped and told us to walk across. Secondly the bus had Adventure Tours written across not Ourbus which is what we were expecting. Tips: Please recheck where you have to wait for your bus.
