Cieba Bus 3

í01.7.19 4:02 pm Cieba Bus 3

jelly stuff. What are those called and does anyone know what I'm talking about?

We stop every so often to pick up some more vendor dudes. Toby goes, hey, do they sell Pepsi Light down here? And I'm thinkin', no way, Pepsi light, like pepsi free, and look over and realize he means the color cuz the pepsi is in the 16oz plastic bottle, but its lighter than the other pepsi bottles. I stick my head out the window and he sees me and says PepsiLimon? Ah. Pepsi Limon I tell toby. He asks if we have pepsilimon in the states, and I say, no, they don't have pepsilimon here. The bottle has little lemon wedges floating in it....homebrewed pepsi limon.

I'd call it Mexican ingenuity except I ain't in Mexico.

So we're 3 hours from Cieba, ETA 6pm. Total travel time, 9 hours. Total bus time, 7.5 hours. Not much longer than the DirectoExpresso we wanted, but the layover in San pedro sula kinda hurt the time thing, cuz the bus stations here are not centralized. Every damn company has their own station. Damn inefficient. And like I said before, this station in particular was pretty dangerous.

Next up, finding a hotel in Cieba. Acually, I'm hoping to hear someone say UTILA!?!? at the bus statiun.....Which would mean they could get me to Utila tonight and I don't have to get a cab to where the hotels are, find a room, pay, unpack, go eat dionner, find a bar with beer, try not to get lostk, go to sleep, wake up early, pack, take a cab to the boat dock, and go to Utila. There are planes that fly all the time, but I'm thinking 6pm may be a little late.

Best of all, I got to ride my first slew of chickenbusses today, see how nice they work, and saved at least 100 lempiras....100L to Cieba instead of 200. Its only about $7 saved, but as toby says, over the course of a year, that adds up. Good point. I need to start thinking that way. And soon....

Are you Chickenbus? Buk-buk-buk!
