    Welcome to the Oasis

    Today was a long day on the road. My first bus picked me up at 4.30 am - at least in theory. Probably it took thee driver so long to get all the stuff of the market ladies on the bus. I wasn't a big fan of this guy anyway: one would expect that people on a bus would like to try and sleep at 5 am, but he kept shouting into his phone, the breaks in between only long enough so it could ring again on maximum volume.
    After about three hours I arrived at Antigua, where I took another bus to Lanquín, a really small town at an amazingly blue river in the rainforest. When Michael (a guy from Canada) and I got off, we were instantly crowded by a bunch of locals who wanted to convince us to stay in their respective hostel. We went for the Oasis and instantly knew it was the right choice. For about 6€ we got our own bungalow, and on the edge of the hostel's restaurant we have a private river access. I could stay here forever!
