We recently went on holiday and our bus driver was a miserable old soul. He hooted at everyone and got all worked up when someone got angry when he tried to cut in (he's a bus after all!). He drove too fast around
hairpin bends and braked too hard and generally made us glad to be off
bus at
end of
trip.
The next day we got onto another bus (filled with trepidation, I might add) and were greeted by a huge grin from
bus driver. She seemed to know all
other bus and truck drivers on
island and waved to them all. When she went around a particularly tight bend on
mountain pass, she would hoot ahead to warn other motorists and when we rounded
bend,
other big vehicle drivers would actually have stopped all
traffic to let her through! She'd thank them with a big wave and a grin and they'd grin right back. Needless to say, we had an absolute ball on that trip!
