Making friends at the bus station

So for the first time on the trip I find myself frustrated. I got and early start and decided to go on the early bus to Pucon. I asked my innkeeper at breakast to order a taxi (45 minutes in advance) and it was 15 minutes late and I missed my bus. So I now have the pleasure of sitting in the Valdivia bus terminal for two hours.

(I don't speak the language and I am sensitive to thinking that somehow that makes people less intelligent but that doesn't mean they are competent)

And there are entirely to many men in South America with tails - long strands of hair of the back of an otherwise normal haircut. It is 2010 for crying out loud. I may buy scissors!
So after a bit I was ok with the delay with the bus. Until the bus broke down and we were delayed another hour.

The hotel is very rustic and nice. The weather is not good for tomorrow so the volcano hike is off until Wednesday

And a pisco sour makes the day ok!
