A Little Surprise
Time to move on, again and again. We’re pretty used to long bus journeys now, and to paying the shockingly large costs of getting them in Argentina. Normally, it’s safe to assume a reasonable cost is $(USD)1 per hour of a journey. Here, we’re up to $5.
So we didn’t bat our eyelids too much to be told we had to pay £90 for our next journey, to Mendoza. What we hadn’t clocked for a while was the arrival time. We leave at 18h30, and arrive at 11h45.
Two days later.
That’s 41 hours on one bus. The longest bus journey of my life.
It makes the 5 hour journey we make to get the connection for Uber-Bus look like a couple of stops out of the city centre. It’s not even worth getting my book out for that length of time!
