WTF? I'm driving along in Walnut Creek and see a big red bus behind me. The back half of the roof is a few feet higher than the front half. It looks European but I can't identify the brand. And the paint is kinda faded. Is this a vintage Ferrari Renntransporter, making an early run to Monterey?
I want a better look. I slow down on the freeway to allow it to pass, pissing off the driver behind me. The behemoth passes by. The driver has five bags of crisps wedged next to his window. Three of them are opened and half-eaten. There are retirees sitting in the front of the bus in the passenger compartment. But the back half is a three-level sleeper! I pull behind it. It's got a new German EU plate and an old yellow Alaska plate.
It is a Rotel Tour ("rolling hotel") bus. Apparently, it's a German outfit that takes intrepid travelers all over the world in eccentric comfort.
