The Bus to Goa

First let me say that no bus ride has been particularly enjoyable in India. They are all too bumpy, and I can't sleep at all. However, this one took the cake. I met these girls in the back of the bus where our beds were next to each other. They immediately began to complain that it was too bumpy. Well, what are we supposed to do about it? Oops, shouldn't have booked a bus ride after all. Well, they insisted on the bus manager moving them to the front, in one of the most ridiculous spectacles I have seen yet in my travels. After this the man tried to sell me their double bed for 200 more. I laughed him off. Well, the roller coaster of a ride continued, and about 2 hours later the man found my wallet on the floor. It had apparently fallen from my pocket while I was laying down. The man began by pocketing 50 Rupees from me, and then asked for a tip for picking my wallet up.

this was all laughable, and contributed to one horrible sleepless night
