061009 - Loosing a day due to bad planning, ARG

Ah... finally, it's Monday. Getting up early and over to the laundry man to pick up my clothes - and off course they're still not done. Well, I show up ten minutes later, pick them up and hurry over to the bus stop. With my big packapck I jump on the local bus that takes me to the bus station and cause a little bit of trouble for the people cause the bag is blocking a bit of the way. Well, at the terminal I am being told that the next bus to Paso de los Libres doesn't leave before 11:30am (it is 10am). Which is not too bad. Bad news hits me when they tell me, that there I'd have a lay-over of about 10hours. Great! Kramer, next time you'd better go check out the times beforehand. Could have used this day to go to Trinidad to check out some more Jesuit ruins. It is not that I am overly fond of ruins, but at least i'd had done something more senseful but being stuck in the middle of nowhere. Guess, sometimes you loose.. sometimes the other's win. ;-)

To Mercedes, my final destination, I get around 2:30am. A short walk from the bus terminal I find my "home" for the next couple of days and fall asleep exhausted .
