The bus ride from Bogota to Medellin wasn’t at all what I expected. I guess I got used to the big beds, first class service and flat, open roads that came with an Argentine bus trip. It wasn’t 5 minutes into the trip that I knew this one would be a lot different. I took the half hour taxi ride out to the bus station on Saturday afternoon, two days before I wanted to leave for Medellin, to ensure I could get a seat on one of Monday’s departure. Because of the holidays the bus station was packed and they were soldout until then. Good thing I did because there were incredibly long lines at practically every bus company window when I arrived. Thankfully, all except the one I’d been advised to take! Bolivariano seemed to be on the higher end of the bus companies and maybe it was for that …
