Pæs and I are four hours into an eleven-hour bus trip...

[Signora Pæsior]

...kill me now, PD.

It's almost midnight and no, they will not be switching off the huge fuckoff fluorescent lights. They sold one more ticket than there are seats so someone has their 9-year-old in their lap. Let me reiterate: for eleven hours. My knees are completely fucked and our next stop is about two and a half hours away.

Why didn't we just spend half our paycheck on absurdly expensive flights? We would have been there in 45 minutes.

I am so full of hate right now.

I didn't know there was 11 hours of driving in New Zealand.  It's only 30-40 meters across.

The Bus Trip is always a Bad Trip.

ALWAYS.

I heard that the roads are really windy.

At least it isn't Canada.

Yeah, but we're going up and down. Practically an entire island.

"At least is isn't Canada" -- I tell myself this pretty much every day.

Frequent orc raids (read: sheep molestation sessions) slow up all travel in New Zealand.

[Phox]

Don't let the fat NZ redneck equivalent touch you, they are probably contagious with something.

90% of the passengers on all cross-country bus trips are fat redneck equivalents, after all, and it's easy to fall asleep and lose vigilance, but you need to persevere, otherwise you'll find yourself waking up in the Nashville bus station.

Also, bear in mind, that unless you were smart enough to realize that you should never take a bus twice on the same trip, you have the return trip to dread.

I feel for you both. I once made an ill advised detour to stonehenge when i landed in the west of ireland. Note that i didnt  jump on another flight like a normal person would. At some point on the train from wales to england i started talking to welsh people. The funny thing was is there were no welsh people talking to me from the perspectives of the other passengers.

discovered the hard way you dont need drugs to trip.

Do you mean the size of Canada, or that people on Canadian Greyhound busses tend to end up decapitated?
