The longest Bus Ride Ever...to Puerto Madryn

We got a ticket in an agency, as hitchhikking back up would have taken too long for our plan, but it was really what we wished we could have done. It's cheaper, often as fast, nicer you get to meet people, and safer... you'll see why.

We got up at 5:30 this 21st of nov, and got at the bus stop. However, there was no place left for the three of us to fit in the main bus, and the extremely unpleasant driver told me that Nadja and Alex had to get in a second small bus. We had booked the whole trip with an agency that had oversold tickets and had urgently attritube a small bus for extra customers... But what the agency had not cared of, was the state of the actual second driver..

After an hour ride being pissed because of my driver's behavior toward us, we made a breakfast stop over. Alex and Nadja came out of the van, their face white like snow! Their driver had almost crashed a few times falling totally asleep on the sinous road!!!!

Alex and I tried to talk and complain serioulsy to my driver who for the second time behaved soo badly insulting us!!

But we had to get back each of us in our respective buses. Anxious like crazy alone in the bus I was praying for their stupid driver not to fall asleep again... Surprise! When we got to Rio grande another stop over to change buses, Alex got out from the driver's side!! He had been driving for the second half since their driver was completly asleep apparently due to a hardcore drunk night!!! OUF at least they were safe! We shouted at this totally irresponsible bus Agency that did not really took into consideration such a serious and dangerous situation ( if ever you go there remeber not to pass through Tolkar Viajes, the agency, neither take the Tecni-Austral Buses)!

Well after all this high adrenaline cession, we got into the second part of the trip to Puerto Madryn which came out to be a good compensation to what had happened. We travelled in extremely comfortable buses having huge large seats, with crazy views!! Finally we could rest and enjoy the road toward the pingouins' colony.
