I had the dubious pleasure of an 8 hour coach journey from Sharm El Sheikh to Cairo recently - all in the pursuit of seeing the Pyramids of Giza and The Sphinx. Most of this time was spent listening to very loud, bad Egyptian movies sitting in non-reclinable seats and suffering from the pharoah's revenge (thank god for imodium!) A worthwhile cause as it happened in the end!I mentioned this to my girlfriend who immediately dismissed an 8 hour coach journey as a mere "trip down to the local shops". She countered with relaying the time she spent 36 hours on a coach (and not a comfortable one at that!) from Rio de Janeiro to Buenos Aires.
Now that is an epic coach journey!
