Arni in Argentina ... a funny story ...
Many things happened on my last trip in Argentina in March...! Most of it was very funny.
I was very tired on a night bus driving from La Pampa Santa Rosa to Neuquen.
I arrived in Neuquen early morning at the bus station, I asked the bus driver if this was the right stop. He answered (in Spanish) "no, no the second one is the right one, here rest for 10 minutes only". So I happily rushed to the toilet at the bus station. After sitting there for only a minute or so I hear sound "brum brum.." I realized that my bus was going away! And all my things were in the bus. I had nothing... nothing!!! ... I pulled my trousers up and ran as fast as I could in time to see the bus driving away! I got terrified... I ran and ran and just reached the bus and hammered the door and screamed "LET ME IN, LET ME IN!!" The driver looked at me ... and he yelled back very scared "no no no" then he took of and disapared around the courner ... gone !
I stood there helpless with nothing ... all my bags, passport and money in the bus ... I had been robt! ... I turned around distressed, noticing many people standing and looking at me. Hummmm I recognize them all and saw this was all the people from the bus. I walk to them and try to talk to them in Spanish. They walk away and do not want to talk to me. Looking at me in a funny way and saying logo logo ... humm .. I decide to walk around the courner. To my relief and shame I see the bus and the driver! Ooopss, the driver just went around the corner to clean the window!
I am back in business again :-) , Arni arnibald@lax-a.is
