A savvy UK holidaymaker has travelled almost 1,500 miles to Poland for less than £85 - by taking nine buses. Andrew Cowell set off from his home in Derby at 7am on Wednesday and arrived in Krakow 61 hours later at 7.52pm on Friday.
The 47-year-old began his journey travelling 130 miles to London using seven different buses costing him a total of £14. He then boarded the 8am Flixbus coach to Krakow which cost him just £69 and enjoyed a dinner on the Seine in Paris while he was waiting to change buses.
Railway worker Andrew said: "For most people travelling by coach so far would be impractical. Flying is efficient but it's too clinical for me. When you fly you just arrive at your destination rather than travel there. By getting buses I feel like I've travelled and I get to see places when I'm travelling.
