Getting from A to B takes a while in Argentinia

A very short post about the trip from Rio Gallegos to Rosario --> where Justo lives. For everyone who doesn't know him: In 2009 he was the exchange student from my best friends family for almost a year!

1. Bus from Rio Gallegos to Trelew, 12 hours
Arriving in Trelew we left our luggage in the terminal and took a bus to Gaimann, which is a small welsh town. People there still now a few words in welsh, there are typical welsh houses and you can visit some typical tea-houses. It was interesting for Martha to go there since she was born in Wales...it was pretty quiet but also kinda cute. All in all a nice way to kill time until your next overnight-bus leaves ;)

2. Bus from Trelew to Bahia Blanca, 14 hours
We stayed in Bahia Blanca for one night. After two days of sleeping-or at least trying to-in the bus it was really really nice sleeping in real bed again! The city is nice but one day is enough to see everything, so it worked out pretty well for us, since we bought our ticket to Buenos Aires (BsAs) that same night.

3. Train -yes, they do have trains in Argentinia- from Bahia Blanca to BsAs, 16 hours
The train was a lot better than we thought and were told! Everyone kept telling us we shouldn't take the train, because it would be too dangerous and uncomfortable but we really wanted to try it...so we bought the ticket, which was actually three times LESS expensive than the bus would have been. The only thing that is a little annoying is that the train takes a lot more time to get from A to B. Planned were 14 hours, but like always we got there two hours later. In BsAs we had to get from one Trainstation to the other one to buy our ticket to Rosario...the subway is pretty crowded and after being only in little cities the weeks before, we had to get used to the big city again.

4. Train from BsAs to Rosario, 7-8 hours
We were sooo bored, because this time it wasn't a night train and we didn't have anything to do...at the end we didn't die off it and made it to Rosario.
We had the address of Justos house and a map of Rosario so we walked there and were welcomed by Justo, who was actually looking for us at the station before ;)

That's how we got from A to B

See you later
