Day 8 – The night bus and California Zephyr

Ok, where’s the bus.

Had a little excitement about 10 last night when it appeared that the nightbus was going to be 3 hours late. Which would have caused me to miss my train. People were told to go away and come back in two hours. I didn’t leave. Before I figured out what to do, the bus got sorted out. Other passengers arrived. Got on the bus. The driver let the passengers decide if we wanted to give up our 30 minute rest break. We decided to give up the break to make up lost time. I slept most of the night.
