So, from Peru to Bs As. I guess not to many of you are familiar with Bolivian buss´, it goes like this.
Arrive at the bus station at 9:00pm, having just left my bottle of water and food rations for the three day journey in the taxi. I buy my ticket to La Paz Bo. because I cant get a bus straight to Bs As, and nobody know's how long the ride will be. So, waiting for the for the bus, I start talking to other tourists and we see a bus off in the corner smoking like a chimney ¨we feel sorry for those people!¨. Oh, its ours, thats what we get for talking ####. So we board our smokey bus that smells like piss because of the uncleaned bathroom in the back, and settle in for the overnight journey.
I get to the bus station in La Paz the next morning and start talking to all the companys leaving for Argentina, I pick the one that leaves the soonest because looking at two more days in a bus I don´t really want to wait in a terminal for 5 hours. At least this one dosn´t smell bad, but thats because thers no bathroom and the trip is 24 hours. My knees touch the seat in front of me and I´m the only gringo on board, whatever, by this time I´m in a travelling comotouse.
I get to the terminal at the border of Bolivia and Argentina and all I have to do is change to a plush Argetine bus and go through customs. I wish it was that easy, with my breath hanging in the air, I had to wait three hours for all the locals to pass customs before the bus could leave. OK, I´m on this big cozy bus with leg rests and food, just one more night and I´m at Fla´s house. 10 minuts from the border the road is closed for a protest, they will let us through in an hour or so, whats an hour in the grand skeem of things?
So three days after starting this fun bus experiance, I´m back and Bs As and so glad to be here.
This week has been mellow, drinking mate and spinning poi in Puerto Madero. Apreciating the mellow while I can, back to the crazy states in a matter of hours.
Its been an amazing journey but all good things come to an end sooner or later. But this is just the end of this trip, the journey of life will go on.
Missing you all for a few more days.
I expect a welcome home party. haha, just kidding.
Peace love and happiness.
Isaiah.
