July 5th 2008: With no knowledge of what time the train leaves for Pamplona Ant and I checked out of our hostel and head for the train station. With my very limited Spanish and several attempts of trying to purchase a train ticket and discovering that all tickets going to Pamplona were sold out, we decided to take the bus into Pamplona. The thought of renting a car had crossed our minds but the rental agency had run out of cars. We got to the bus station and were happy to find out the bus ride was way cheaper and faster. After purchasing our tickets we headed for the nearest Tapas bar for some food. As we ate, 3 guys with an English accent walked in. I started a conversation with them and found out they were from the UK and that they were going to be on the same bus. Little did we know 2 of the 3 guys (Steve and James) would become our drinking buddies. On the way back to the bus station, Ant and I passed by a liquor store to get some beer to drink on the bus. We got on the bus and headed straight towards the rear seats. As we waited for everyone else to board, a group of guys headed towards the rear of the bus began chanting a song. They pulled out a bottle of Rum and automatically became our friends. I asked where they were from- the Canarian Islands. A half hour had passed and the entire rear of the bus was intoxicated. We then all began to ask the bus driver to stop the bus. The bus didn't have a restroom. One of the Australians began to turn red and shiver. At one point his girlfriend covered both of their laps with a towel in an unsuccessful attempt to pee in a bottle. We all thought they were doing something else, but that was not the case.
A few more minutes had passed and I screamed out loud, "yo memidos estos aqui!" The guys from the Canarian Islands started to laugh. We all then started to chant "stop the bus." The bus driver finally gave in and pulled over. The entire back of the bus immediately emptied as the doors opened. All the girls looked for bushes to hide behind to squat as we all urinated on the side of the freeway.
