Leaving Ramnagar was pretty easy, specially if you plan to get out of there in the morning. Buses to Haridwar, my intented destination, left every hour, so I got the 10 o'clock bus. Few people in the bus, so I got a priviledged place in the front, noone bothering me and with total control of my back.
What I didn't know was that the bus was going to take about 6 hours to get to Haridwar. Looking at the map it seemed a very short distance, but apparently it went the long, long and long way.
Getting a bus in India is not as delightfull as a first class wagon with AC. And if you go in the front seats you can get pretty scared. Definately, Indians are very lucky people, great drivers, and whatever god they believe in, it definately works!!! I saw my life in jeopardy at least 10 times on the way to Haridwar. After this bus trip, however, I got used to it.
So time seemed not to pass, and I urgently needed a bathroom. However, didn't dare to get out of the bus as I didn't know how long the stops took, and was worried about my backpack.
Finally we got to Haridwar, and that seemed hell, specially after such a long journey to get there. So I made the best decision since I'm in India, get the following bus to Rishikesh!!
