July 24

We went from three party shirt wearers to two

Our lovely Dutch friend had other things to do

So we went to the bus terminal to haggle on deals

And thought we had secured a good set of wheels

'Expreso Tequila' wasn't quite as fun as it sounds

No bathroom on board and 13 hours of shaky grounds

Not a recipe for a pleasant night's sleep

Looking back, the bus haggling learning curve was steep
