So when you leave our bus, you'll have to take everything that you're likely to need with you, like toiletries or books and magazines. In fact, it's probably a good idea to put these things in a separate bag beforehand. You shouldn't need snacks on board as meals are provided, and they're quite substantial. And if you don't feel well or get a headache, you can get tablets from me. I always carry an adequate supply
