Day 1 - Thursday March 3

Oh what a beginning! After a mad dash to finish packing, I took the local bus accompanied by my rather large pack up to campus. After a proper loading of the bus, we bid farewell to campus and started our 14 hour bus ride. Oh right, there was the one passport left behind but it was recovered speedily. The ride was not as long as one would have expected, although that could not be said for the returning journey. We traveled through the night.
