Here we are, it's time to hit the road again, this time someone is waiting for us so we can't stop and they assure us that there are buses even if it is holiday. We get on the bus just a minute before leaving to Puerto Octay where actually there should be, according to the schedule, a coincidence for our destination (that isn't a secret place but doesn't have a name because in the middle of nowhere!). But at the intersection we discover that there is no other bus.

And we can clearly believe it because we are not the only ones: the scene is almost hilarious, we are at least 7 people, and everyone, from the youngest to the oldest, start to hitchhike! Mothers and children first and then the old people, but fortunately we don't have to wait long and in about half an hour we are in Las Cascadas, more or less where we should find another intersection that takes us to the farm... but at the bar where we ask for directions they tell us that we should get off some miles before!!

Well, we can only take it easy, we rest a bit and eat, maybe some other bus will take us back at the right crossing. In the meantime we try to hitchhike again, now we are not beginners any more. But everyone is going to the beach on the lake, in a different direction and nobody can help us! What a disappointment...

We wait for 3 hours thinking that maybe we should look for a place to sleep, when as a miracle a bus at 5.30 pm appears, already overloaded with people, but the driver understands the situation and let us to get on board, squeezing the other passengers with our backpacks. Luckyly the driver understands where the famous intersection is and we get off at least 10 miles backwards.
From there we have a nice 45 minutes walk to the farm. Katia, the owner, had given us the right directions, from the intersection we turn on the right and walk till we reach the houses... yes, but how much? There's only green fields here!
At the end we made it, with all our bags on our shoulders and the tongue dangling, we see horses... and in the distance some houses!!

Here start our first workaway: do you want to know what it is about? To the next post then!
