The rules that must be followed include not using mobile phones or tablets, prohibiting smoking and drinking alcohol during the trip, and students who break these rules will be sent home at their own expense.

The narrator's class teacher is Dr. Utz, who teaches history. He is described as being old-fashioned and humorous, often making jokes during class and keeping the students engaged.

The narrator expresses concern about the trip as he feels it will be boring. He anticipates a lot of walking and is particularly apprehensive about visiting museums which he finds uninteresting.

Initially, the bus driver does not seem friendly and does not allow students to play music, which makes the atmosphere tense. The mood improves when one of the students plays music on her MP3 player, causing everyone to feel more relaxed.

After midnight, the bus stops at a toilet break. As they stop, students rush for the toilets, and during the break, they question each other about their experiences and what they will share with their friend Pavel, who was left behind.

A mobile phone begins to ring, disrupting the quiet moment and causing panic among the students as they try to locate the owner.

The students react by attempting to silence the ringing phone, while Herr Utz moves to the back of the bus to find the source of the noise, expressing frustration at the disturbance.

The students decide not to reveal who owns the phone, maintaining silence about it. They form a united front, ensuring they stick together in dealing with the issue.
