So far our experience of buses has been mixed to say the least - there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to what goes on with the transport network. We decided to be different from what the guidebook suggested which was interesting to say the least. Our first journey was delayed as it became apparent that they hadn't completed the road we were meant to be travelling on - an enjoyable six hours was spent as they literally lifted rocks and dirt from in front of our bus!
Two tired and weary passengers then arrived at queveda to get on our next bus, fortunately they had a mechanic on board as the bus proceeded to break down every 20 minutes, never a good time especially when one of us had a bad case of "the south americas" .
Last night we decided to cross the border confident that we would arrive in the border town of Piura (Peru) to be able to get a night bus to Lima - we are still here, stuck as the Peruvians have never heard of such a thing as a timetable. They only go when there is sufficient demand and apparently two Gringos was not enough to interest them last night!
