The bus was overloaded with passengers. Some were sitting on the floor. Loud engine noise and a smell of petrol in the back.

The bus just forgot to stop and pick us up. So we had to wait 1,5 hour more for the next one. Tickets were changed by the lady on bus stop.

None of the locals knew where the pick-up station was. Despite GPS data, it was very confusing that it was in the last corner, at a restaurant and a hidden unclear sign. The bus is getting on in years, but the trip was okay overall. At one bus station we took a break for ages. Much longer than the announced 20 minutes. We were dropped off in the middle of nowhere. Confusingly, the place was called exactly the same as the harbor on the dam. There was no chance of organizing onward transport.
