You can sing on the bus, its the Contiki Day songs!

Sitting on a bus for several hours a day can get kind of bland especially when your so eager to get out, stretch and get to your next event, but trust me, there are bus backups i call it or in other words what they call the contiki day songs! this is a contiki tradition that has been endured for decades, the songs are chosen by the Tour manager, Driver or tour cook for those who are doing camping tours only. Dont worry though you can add certain songs that you like to the list. These are memories you won't ever forget.
