Well there was no chance of oversleeping! As well as about 4 alarm clocks the hotel staff rang me at exactly 6. And very luckily there is an open cafe near the bus station, so I don't have to hang around on my own in the dark in shorts.
Because of course i slept very badly worrying I would not wake in time for the bus so I need a large coffee con leche .
There are about 12 people in the bar, all men.
About 6 of them are young and seem to be drunk. They are drinking orujo. They are very loud like a flock of starlings
The other 6 are old and drnking some local clear drink that looks like aniseed.
And now I am off. A luego
South America is really big and I have never been there. I am leaving the safety of my teaching job to explore 5 spanish-speaking countries and to walk in the footsteps of Charles Darwin on the Galapagos Islands. I am hoping that neither the perilous altitudes of Ecuador, the ravenous midges in the Peruvian rainforest or the crazy Bolivian bus drivers will kill me... I will doubtless meet other people on the edge of sanity who feel the need to wander away from safety. I hope we can be friends.
