Rhod and Anna's World Adventure

We are now in Argentina and we have been doing a bit of travelling by bus. We decided to go from Buenos Aires to Iguazu Falls on the 18 hour overnight bus. Sounds pretty horrific but we told the travel agent we wanted to be "hooked up with some crazy heat" (we wanted the best class of seat you could get) and he certainly "blessed it with some mad flavour" (delivered the goods in the form of Cama-Suite seats).

I´ve watched a lot of Pimp My Ride on MTV. That, The Simpsons and American Chopper effectively form my view of life in the States. I hope I´m not disappointed when I get there. Anyway back to the bus. It was nice. We turned down the cama bus because the seats only reclined to a fully supported 120 degrees. The luxury backpackers wouldn´t stand for it so we opted for the fully flat bed option. It was great. Only 20 people on the upstairs section of the coach and the seats were in little cubicles so you wouldn´t be bothered by the other passengers.

We were obviously the only ones who had never travellled on this type of bus before as I spent the first hour putting the seat down, then back up, then back down etc etc. Luckily we were right at the back and no-one could see me messing about from their little cubicles.

We were well looked after by the waiter. In total we managed to consume:
2 glasses of champagne
6 cups of coffee
8 biscuits
2 sweets
4 soft drinks
4 bread rolls
2 dinners
2 breakfasts

The on-board entertainment consisted of:
Compilation of Rock Ballads videos (including 5 Roxette songs!)
Film - The Wedding Crashers
Film - Big Momma´s House 2 (not seen Big Momma´s House 1 therefore not interested)
Compilation of instrumental Christmas Songs to wake us up in the morning.

We had such a great time we have booked ourselves in for some more of the star treatment when we go to a place called Mendoza this weekend. Get that champers on ice!
