Where I stayed

Friday, May 13, 2011

On the 13th we really didn`t do much besides updating our blog and watching a movie at the hostel while waiting till we had to get to the bus station. At around 4pm we grabbed our bags and flagged a cab so we wouldn`t have to ride the public bus with our massive bags....they seem to be getting heavier, good thing we`re meeting James` parents in June and can send some stuff home!
We got to the station at least an hour before we were to leave so we went about trying to find out where the waiting room was. The bus attendents didn`t understand us of course and so one just told us to follow her and took us right to our bus; apparently we could board right away.
The bus wasn`t too bad but the beds were shorter than our last sleeper bus and my (Jackie) bed for some reason was about 3/4 the size of all the other beds making it even harder for me to sleep. Besides that there was the regular stench of feet and this time there was also people sleeping on the skinny strip of floor between the beds...talk about fire hazard!
