Back on the Bus Again

After three weeks in Bolivia, I hopped back on the bus to my next destination: Peru. This was a 17-hour journey, with one transfer and a border crossing. Fortunately, the border crossing was much easier than the one into Bolivia.

I’m becoming intimately familiar with bus stations all over South America. Where to find the luggage storage place. Make sure to pay the terminal tariff before boarding, if you don’t want to miss your bus. Which lines have the best reclining seats. How much it will cost to pee. Bolivia is all about their pay-to-pee/poop plan; there is no such thing as a free toilet. I think it’s their main source of income. Instead of a receipt, you are given a couple squares of toilet paper.

    From my recollection, you shouldn’t expect anything better re: toilets in Peru. Be safe! If you’re gastrointestinally unlucky, and couple of squares won’t seem like much.

    1. That does seem to be the case…
