Anna's travels......
Oh my god! I really need to sort myself out. Had to put myself in a taxi this morning. I could hardly talk, walk, dance or anything. I even fell alseep in the bar. haha Wicked night though. I only did this because it was Paddys Day. Had to keep up with the irish!
Wednesday night I met 3 girls at the bus station. One of them, Tina, I had already met on a wine tour the other day. We are all travelling solo and on our way to Bariloche. And we have just so hit it off. Me and tina have been crying with laughter. Met the Irish girls (same ones that I met in BA AS) at the hostel, it is great to see them again too.
The bus journey was rather interesting. First of all it arrived an hour late. Then on Thursday morning it stopped and we thought they said we could have ten minutes walking around. So we went for a walk and to the loos etc. Came back to see our bus leaving, with everyone but us on it.! Racheal and Nina were rather calm, but Tina and I were panicing. Normally I also that my little bag with my money, passport, tickets, camera, ipod etc off the bus, but I was sitting next to a really nice women so I left it with her. So we all had nothing. Not a penny. Tina and I ran after the bus. But the bus was going faster than our little legs. I thought that we could maybe run to the next corner and catch it there, but it turned the opposite way.
By this point I am thinking of plan B. I had about 5 fags on me, so I could sell them. I could sell my body, but I have been sitting on a bus for over 10 hrs. Don't tell my mum, but I also haven`t washed these clothes for a while. I have lost my socks, so I have had to wear these 4 days running! So I am rather smelly to say the least.
Some local guy told us to phone the bus. So we went into the station and spoke to the office. Who then told us that the bus had gone because something was broke. They was changing the bus and it was going to be back at 9am. Why does no one tell us these things!!! So 1 and a half hours later, our bus comes back! Panic over. But this is now a joke now with Tina and I. If we ever see a bus, we just run after it!
The bus then breaks down in the middle of nowhere. Glad i was with the girls, we just continued to laugh about it. We was hoping that the bus would break down outside a pub, but hey, you can`t have everything.
When we finally got to Bariloche, we met the Irish Girls at the hostel. And what a nice hostel this is. The town in the winter is a ski resort so there are little lodges all about. This one is made of wood. The rooms are so cute, and the beds are so comfortable. We have only just got up and it is 12.30.
Went for a meal last night. A few irish bars, of course! And then ended up in this little cafe next to the river. Tina and decided to go in there. Everyone else was going to a club. But about half hour later everyone else turned up and this cafe/bar thing was rocking. There was just us backpackers there and then these local. The locals must have thought we were all mad. But hey, we don`t have to go back there again!
Today I am going to recover. Oh and buy some warm clothes. It is soooooo cold here. Tomorrow we are going hiking in the moutains and then camping out for the night. Can`t wait.
