That was a tough night sleeping on the bus, we're awake now and still have over 12 hours left on the bus. We're pretty exhausted as the only food you get from you get on the bus until you step off 22 hours lates is: 1 cookie, 1 caramel bisquite, 1 packet of mini bread sticks, 2 cartons of suuuper sweet juice and 1 cheese and ham sandwhich (if you can actually call it a sandwhich) so you can imagine you get quiet hungry. Thank god me and David had 2 grape fruits with us to share.
We were driving through the desert, and believe me, it was just nothing but desert, ocasioanlly we'd pass through these tiny towns that did not look very developed. on the sandy hills you can see that people have been there because they've been writing messages in the sand somehow.


A little village in the middle of nowhere

We arrive at last, nearly 23 hours of sitting down and smelling the poo from the toilet that was just behind us! But we were happy, because we're off the bus.
We met a couple on the bus, that is going to the same hostel as us "Nueve Amanecer" (as we recommended it :) It looks like a family run hostel, noone speaks English, but we can communicate anyway.
We go to bed, and we're happy

Angela & David
