Sun 0920 Just got to terminal. No problems. Woke up 3am to see phone apparently still connected to charger but having run batt down from 15%ish to 2%ish, despite sitting unused and in aeroplane mode. Fiddled with it and luckily it got up to 80% by time left room at about 0840.
Had remaining sandwiches and two bananas and swigged some liquid back in room, but have come out with nearly 2.5 litres of water when I'd prefer to have just 1. But it's not too hot yet and the walk over was a mild slog but not terrible.
Left key on table in front of house as no one around and door was shut so didn't like it start shouting around, plus was anxious to get off.
1002 On bus, all OK. In hindsight since most seats were free I should have picked one of the front ones for a better view (semi-cama is on top deck) but no matter. Got aisle seat anyway and so far I am only person on bus, tho I know seat across aisle from me will be occupied at some point. Allowed on with bag, it got some sort of ticket attached, ticket checking guy didn't take any interest in my passport but maybe someone will check it once we leave.
1005 Been given small plastic tray with a mini ham and cheese baguette (hot dog bun size) and small packet of biscuity things. Not totally stuffed from eating earlier but not massively hungry so will leave this for bit. Not opened it to examine baguette for mayonnaise but have a feeling it may be fine. We're off anyway.
1018 Worried about baguette (really is more of a hot dog bun) getting warm and manky so eaten it. Quite nice, little sachet of what looks like mayo (tho can't see any text saying what it *is* actually) so none on the baguette itself. Will leave biscuits for now (I brought some of my own too), stuffed them in daypack.
1433 Changing bus for some reason. I didn't hear any announcement but everyonme else seemed to know so maybe there was one.
Old bus had USB port on seat (as does new one and indeed at least one other bus been on) but my wonderful phone seemed to actually discharge slightly when connected to it - perhaps the charge port only supplies 2A and the phone, seeing a charger connected, allows the zillion background apps and services and OS shit to run freely and burn 2.2A or something.
This bus has really loud sound on the film showing on the pop-down screens, hard to ignore even with headphones.
Just checked Google Maps, we're in Posadas.
1512 Oh, on walk to terminal this morning there *seemed* (on a very wide grassy verge at side of main road I was walking along; no pavement) to be a bit group of guys with one or two pointing guns at the occupants of a car. I'm quite prepared to believe I imagined this; I formed the impression the guys with guns were cops, but really did not like to stare at what was going on just in case.
2050 On bunk in hostel. Upper bunk. Reserve clearly bullshit. Otherwise no great problems, except despite long and friendlyish Spanish discussion had to pay VAT anyway "because this is just a small place" . May complain to booking.com after leave.
Bus trundled enormously from 1900 to 1930 and did massive detour round Corrientes before entering town, was getting worried this was some "access to Corrientes" shit and I'd missed the stop miles out of town, but all fine.
Took about 45 mins to walk from terminal to hostel but not particularly dark or intimidating.
Feel typing may piss ppl off so prob stop now bashed out essentials and try to go to sleep. Bunk does have socket and light so if phone didn't suck I'd be delighted except for upper bunk. Cleaned teeth but not had shower, will do it after breakfast tomorrow. Which looks a bit intimidatingly communal if it is in the kitchen area but see what happens...
