There was nobody in the bus station, no indication of a bus station and no sign of where the bus was supposed to arrive at. The bus didn’t even make a stop at the spot it usually does. 8 of were waiting and came 30 minutes earlier but they ignored us even when we called them and proposed that we get a taxi to catch up to them.

Pretty rude driver. Other than that, roads are terrible which is a warning for anyone travelling in the country by road.
