Getting back to the bus in the evening, they saw someone lying on the ground next to the vehicle. Inspecting him more closely they found that him being a resident of their city, had certainly not come on their bus. He was very drunk. They thought him having come on another bus and missed it because he was very drunk and so he had found their bus to travel home. Two men carried him into the bus. Not waking up during the trip back, they also took him home when they arrived at their city as he was still very drunk. Them having knocked on his door for a few minutes, one of his neighbours opened the window and said, "There is no point in knocking there. They drove to the sea for two weeks."
