In America, Argentina On  18/08/2001  No comments

I arrived in Pozadas at 10am. I went to get my backpack and it wasn’t in the bus. Neither the one from a German friend that came from Salta with me. They told us that our luggage was sent (by mistake) to Glorinda, a city in the border with Assuncion (Paraguay). We had changed the bus at 5am, they told us to not worry with the bags that they would move from one bus to another. They just forgot to tell us that they usually forget some.

We complained at Nueva Estrella Office. They told us this happens a lot, and we would have to wait until 1am when a bus from Glorinda arrives. It was a cold and rainy day. There was not to do in town, we would have to wait the whole day in the bus station.

Since my parents live near the Argentinean border, they had gone to meet me in Pozadas. When they got there to get me, they found out that they would have to wait 16 hours. If we had driven to Glorinda, the way and back, it would take the same amount of time...
