We slept almost as soon as we got on the bus from Salta to Tucuman. Normally the bus guide shouts the name of the stops but this one didn't so it was lucky I woke up when I did other wise we'd have gone back to Mendoza.
We got our bags and did a walk through the terminal to look for somewhere comfy to sit for 5 hours. We bumped into Anya. She'd been put on a different bus. This terminal is a posh one with shops and a casino. Lee did his amazing sitting up straight and sleeping routine whilst I talked books with Anya.... She's in publishing and I like books. The hours flew by!
Lee woke and we all went for a coffee. Finally it was time for the bus. A couple of hours in they brought us a cheese and ham butty with a pie and a cup of coke. I couldn't bring myself to eat the pie. I didn't have a clue what was in it. The only reason I took a bite was because it looked like a cherry bakewell. Cherry bakewell it was not! We tried to stay awake through the day time but we kept drifting off. At 7pm they brought a cake with a blob of dulce de leche in the middle and a coffee. i thought that was our tea but at about 9-10pm they brought out mash with a flat sausage and a slice of ham. after we'd eat we were fast asleep right the way through the night until 7am the next day.
