It so happened that the bus is still the cheapest type of transport. You can go cheap to Peter, to Moscow, south.
The train goes longer and costs more, the plane - quickly, but expensive, especially in the high season. You can, of course, use the Blablacar services, but no one will give security guarantees. And not everyone can safely travel in a random company.
Going to a long-distance long trip by bus, of course, you will also be among strangers, but here our advantages - no one will make you maintain communication if you do not want. And the headphones and the tablet with their favorite films and music will help you to distract and distance themselves from the travelers.
What you need to take with you first
Money, documents, travel voucher. Things divide on those that take to the salon and those that will go to the luggage compartment. They must be packed in different bags.
Terminated on the highway usually do not seek, that is, to sit on the spot with a fastened seat belt you will have to three or four hours in a row. Do not drink a lot of liquid, carefully with coffee and other drinks with a diuretic effect! The buses usually have a lookup for quite an emergency case, but drivers reluctantly open it.
People (not in luggage!) - a first-aid kit, where your casual medicines, a means of mentaling, from poisoning (if!), Anesthetic, antihistamine.
If there are problems with varicose veins, take compression linen and ointment for veins. Feet swell even in those who are absolutely healthy! At stops, try to warm up, move, do samomassage.
Antibacterial napkins, face spray, mini-packing of toothpaste and folding toothbrush. At the gas station or at a sanitary stop, you will be glad to wash and refresh yourself before the long expensive.
It is very useful in the way the inflatable or even massage pad under the neck. If you can, purchase or ask friends and a rectangular inflatable pillow. You will put it under the buttocks. Otherwise, by the end of the trip, a soft place will shine about mercy.
It is not bad to take a plaid, claw overnight. Take the hood sweatshirt, also overnight, or if the air conditioner works on a complete one. Replaceable socks and shirts will not be superfluous.
Food on the road
Usually there are stops for lunches, dinners. But not everyone eating table food is often unpredictable quality. However, in the cafe where truckers eat, the food is simple and tasty.
There is a nuance: it happens that there are several buses in the parking lot and, as a result, queues and in the toilet and in the cafe. Order those dishes that are already in stock and do not wait until you prepare.
Even if you are planning to eat in a cafe, it is still worth the bump for snaps for snacks. Excellent goes on the road Kozinaki, nuts and dried fruits, pre-sliced crushed sausage.
Do not forget the water! The thermos is usually not required, since the bus often has a cooler and is offered free tea and coffee. But if you suddenly wanted to drink hot homemade broth - the most! Take a mug-unpleasure, also useful.
In the cabin
Ideally pack all things that take to the salon, in a small urban backpack, so that he goes to the dimensions on the shelf over the seats. Plaid, sweatshirt, t-shirt, twist with rolls before putting into a bag or backpack, so compact.
In pockets, which is located on the back of the seat in front, fold the necessary - wet wipes, a mask for sleep, a garbage bag, a bottle of water. Pillows and plaid also get immediately.
If you are going together, on the road you have at least a small one, but your space is located in pairs. If alone, then try to redeem the location by the window, so more chances to maintain a distance with fellow travelers.
Best Assistant - Patience and Politeness
Usually drivers and accompanying willingly go to contact and are ready to help you. Even if the brutal "drove" grumbling all the way and seasoned a monologue with strong words, most likely he will not be deaf to your request to stop (where it is allowed!), If you have screwed my head or it became not good. The road is little unusual.
Feel free to ask or ask for! It is absolutely normal.
