  If you do a “find” in the tabs above, there are heaps of posts which cover this same topic.
  
  Drive time can’t ever be specific, depends on traffic, whether conditions, accidents, where you’re heading etc. Mostly, you can expect to spend 4-6 hours per day travelling, when going cross country from city to city…sometimes more. If you inter-country, it might only be a few hours, but it will take all day because you will have stops/visits along the way.
  
  Leg room, just like a normal bus really.

  Yeah as above, generally a couple of hours a day. I think the max I spent on the bus was 10 hours, and that was between French Riviera and Florence (I think?) and we hit some pretty hectic traffic. So yeah, it can vary but there are rest stops along the way and most of the time half of the bug trips were spent sleeping off hangovers/catching up on sleep And with an ipod, a decent book and your contiki tourmates to keep u entertained generally the hours pass by pretty quickly <!--graemlin::)-->

  Oh and I found the buses to be comfy, enough leg room and reclining seats etc.
