Bus ride to Rota

As I mentioned in my last post I just came back from the south of spain (Cadiz and Rota, in Andalucia, Spain).

I have found it more expensive to travel within Spain so when my friend Kristin found this bus that goes for only 36 euros I was so there. The only problem is the bus ride is 7 hrs, so I decided I would take the night bus so it wouldn't affect my days and I could just sleep on the bus. The bus left the bus station at 12am but I had to purchase my ticket and was worried it would be sold out so I got to the station at about 10:30. The bus station isn't really a nice place so I was happy to get on the bus. However when I realized what seat I had I wasn't so happy. You don't get to choose your seat when purchasing your ticket (well maybe you can but I wasn't really in the mood to complicate things when getting my ticket) so I was stuck with sitting right behind the driver. This was horrible as it was nearly impossible to get some sleep. The driver had a radio on and a fan so I was freezing the whole time. Once I finally got into a somewhat comfortable position and was almost asleep the bus stopped at some random restaurant and gas station to refuel. I was so confused with what was going on because the driver made everyone get off the bus. I wasn't sure where we were and what was going on really, I was worried I had missed my stop and this was the last stop and I had no idea where we were, but I eventually figured it out but really all I wanted to do was sleep!! Another 3 hours and we made it to my destination. Well I say destination but really here at el Peurto de Santa Maria I had to wait for another bus to get to Rota (where Kristin lives). There were 4 or 5 buses that go to Rota so I thought at least one would come in time, however this was not the case and I had to wait 3 hours at the bus stop. I was so tired at this point but once at the bus station in Rota I thouth I would find my way to Kristins on my own. I had some awesome directions so managed my way quite easitly, however since I was dressed for the cold nights and the bus ride I was in many layers, so when I got to Kristins doors I was sweaty and tired (not a pretty sight when giving hellos). Once at Kristins it was nice to sit that's forsure!!
