Yep, you read that right !!! We had a nice bus journey from Puerto Iguazu to Tucuman and it took 21 hours. It might not have been as bad, but there were kids squawking for 20 hours, 59 seconds. Debo was at the end of here tether. To finish it off, when we were nearing the end of the journey, the hostess guy insisted that we all play Bingo !! I think it was sleep deprivation on his part as he was running around the bus feeding and watering everyone for 21 hours. We didn´t really want to stop in Tucuman, because the bus was going on to Mendoza (where we wanted to end up), but Mendoza is another 15 hours away.....36 hours no way !!!
Tucuman itself is a big city with some nice architecture (churches etc.), but there is only so many buildings you can look at. Tucuman is in the brochure as the "Garden of Argentina", we went to the park to find sun scorched grass, no flowers and a few jakies (nice garden eh?) - so our trip to the park lasted about 1/2 a minute rather than a whole day. So we headed back to the hostel, which is very nice, played cards and drank beer. Started off just two of us...then four....then eight, so it was a good night.
Luckily we have bought our tickets out of here, but today we´re going to the supermarket to buy food that isn´t cheese and bread. What an exciting life we lead, but it is sunny, so it´s not all bad.
Love the "drama queens"
